Let

x-------> the number

we know that

The expression " Two-fifths of one less than a number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number" represent the equation

\frac{2}{5}(x-1) < \frac{3}{5}(x+1)

Multiply by 5 both sides

2(x-1) < 3(x+1)

2x-2 < 3x+3

-3-2< 3x-2x

-5 < x --------> x >-5

The solution set is the interval -------> (-5,∞)   the number -5 is not included

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The solution set is the interval (-5,∞)

I need a little help! Can someone check my work? It's a written response with linear systems.
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

I'd say you need to be more specific.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Different" doesn't tell you much.

Consider the equations ...

  • y = 2x + 1
  • 4x - 2y = -2

These equations are "different", but they are <em>dependent</em>.

_____

I'd mentally (or actually) put the equations in the same form and compare the coefficients of x and y. If they have different ratios, the system is independent and consistent.

If they have the same ratio, the system will not have a single solution. Whether there is no solution or an infinite number of solutions depends on the constant, which I would examine next.

The system above can be put in the form

  • 2x -y = -1
  • 4x -2y = -2

In both cases, the ratio of the x coefficient to the y coefficient is 2/-1 = 4/-2 = -2. This means the lines are at least parallel, if not identical. The numbers in the second equation are all 2 times the numbers in the first equation, so the equations are <em>dependent</em>, and there are an infinite number of solutions. (Both describe the same line.)

If the second equation were 4x -2y = 1, then the two equations would be describing parallel lines, so they would be called <em>inconsistent</em>.

What is the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence –7.5, –9, –10.5, –12...
natita [175]

Answer:

= - 1.5n - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sequence is arithmetic with n th term ( explicit formula

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 7.5 and d = - 9 - (- 7.5) = - 9 + 7.5 = - 1.5

= - 7.5 - 1.5(n - 1) = - 7.5 - 1.5n + 1.5 = - 1.5n - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The third one, 2 to the power of 5 over 6

√2  * 3√2

convert from radical form to exponent form to solve for the same root
( x^m/n = n√x^m )

2^(1/2) * 2^(1/3)  
2^{3/6} * 2^{2/6} - find common denominator (6)
6√(2^3) * 6√(2^2)  - convert back to radical form 
6√(2^3 * 2^2)- combine

6<span>√(</span>2^5)
then convert to exponential form again
~ 2^5/6 ~

What is the solution to the equation 3x-5=2x+8+x?
Marysya12 [62]
So when solving this you are going to have to solve the equation.
Okay so first thing we need to do is simplify both sides of your equation so:
3x−5=<span>2x+8+x
</span>Simplifying process:
<span><span><span>3x</span>+</span>−5</span>=<span><span><span>2x</span>+8</span>+<span>x
</span></span><span>Combine Like Terms </span>⇒ 3x−5=<span>(2x+x)+(8)
</span><span><span>3x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>3x</span>+<span>8
</span></span><span><span>3x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>3x</span>+<span>8
</span></span>Second thing we are now going to do is s<span>ubtract 3x from both sides<span> so:
</span></span><span><span><span>3x</span>−5</span>−<span>3x</span></span>=<span><span><span>3x</span>+8</span>−<span>3<span>x
</span></span></span><span>−5</span>=<span>8
</span>Final step is to add 5 to both sides:
−5+5=<span>8+5
</span>0=<span>13
</span>The answer to your question is "<span>There are no solutions"</span>
