Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert this to numbers. When a number is decreased by a certain amount, that is the same as saying that something is subtracted from it. Therefore:

a-7=2

Add 7 to both sides:

a-7+7=2+7

a=9

Hope this helps!

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number (Let's call it x) has been subtracted by 7 (x - 7) then to find the previous number you just do the opposite. Let's call the end result y. 2 + 7 = x (Or y + 7 = x). <u>2 + 7 = 9.</u>

What is the solution set for -3x &gt; 9
Rudik [331]
-3x > 9

Divide both sides by -3

Keep in mind that when multiplying or dividing a negative with greater or less than symbols, you always flip the symbol

-3x > 9
x < -3

Any value of x that is less than -3 is the answer so C

Two sets are equal if they contain the
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Definition: Two sets are equal if they contain the

same elements. I.e., sets A and B are equal if

∀x[x ∈ A ↔ x ∈ B].

Notation: A = B.

Recall: Sets are unordered and we do not distinguish

between repeated elements. So:

{1, 1, 1} = {1}, and {a, b, c} = {b, a, c}.

Definition: A set A is a subset of set B, denoted

A ⊆ B, if every element x of A is also an element of B.

That is, A ⊆ B if ∀x(x ∈ A → x ∈ B).

Example: Z ⊆ R.

{1, 2} ⊆ {1, 2, 3, 4}

Notation: If set A is not a subset of B, we write A 6⊆ B.

Example: {1, 2} 6⊆ {1, 3}
