Answer:
A) 20.82 > 20.55
Step-by-step explanation:
Hopefully, your issue is with the symbols (< vs >) rather than actually determining which number is larger or smaller.
The wide-open end of the symbol (the left side, in the case of >) indicates the larger (more positive) number.
So, the meanings of the symbols are ...
> — "is greater than"
< — "is less than"
The only true statement of those listed is ...
20.82 is greater than 20.55, or 20.82 > 20.55 . . . . selection A
_____
When writing number comparisons, I like to use the < symbol, because it puts the numbers in number-line order. That is, the smaller (or more negative) number is on the left, just as it is on a number line.
You trade the places of the numbers when changing the symbol. For example, answer choice A could be rewritten as ...
20.55 < 20.82
You know that 20.55 is to the left of 20.82 on the number line, so you know this statement is true.
Answer:
X=10
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subtract 10 from both sides
2. Simplify
3. Divide both sides by the same factor
4. Simplify
Answer:
the answer to the whole equation is x=30.
Step-by-step explanation:
do 2/3(2) and -1/2(3)
4/6x and -3/6x
add the -3/6x to the other side
7/6x or 1 and 1/6x=5
times both by 6
x=30
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Th explicit formula of a geometric sequence has the following format:
Where a is the initial term and r is the common ratio.
From the recursive formula, we can see that each subsequent term is multiplied by 13. Thus, the common ratio is 13.
Also, we are given that the first term is 7.
So, substituting these in, we have:
Our answer is C
And we're done!
3/4 x 21
=
3/4 x 21/1
=
63/4
