Answer:

<h2>b > - 5/1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement

Twice the difference of a number and 8 is written as

2( b - 8)

The expression is greater than - 21 so we represent it by the > sign

So we have

2( b - 8) > - 21

Expand

2b - 16 > - 21

2b > - 21 + 16

2b > - 5

Divide both sides by 2

<h3>b > - 5/2</h3>

Hope this helps you

  • x²-3x+2x-6=0
  • x(x-3)+2(x-3)=0
  • (x+2)(x-3)=0
  • x={-2,3}

ZEros of reciprocal function

  • x={-1/2,1/3}

The equation

  • x²-(-1/2+1/3)x-(1/2)(1/3)=0

A line passes through the point (-6, 6) and (-6, 2). In two or more complete sentences, explain why it is not possible to write
Alenkinab [10]
The line passes through two points that have the same x-coordinate.
It is a vertical line. To find the slope of a line, use any two points. Subtract the y-coordinates. Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order. Then divide the difference of the y-coordinates by the difference of the x-coordinates. Since in this case, the x-coordinates are both -6, the difference between the x-coordinates is zero. Division by zero is not defined, so the slope of this line is undefined. You can't write its equation in point-slope form, because there is no slope for this line.

3x-2y=7<br>-x+3y=-7<br>What is the simultaneous answer?<br>​
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

x = 5, Y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -2y = 7

-3x +9y = 21. (multiple the whole thing by 3 to get the xs to cancel)

7y = 28

y = 4

substitute y to find x

3x - 2(4) = 7

3x -8 = 7

3x = 15

x = 5
