Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam is incorrect because if you look at the original problem, you'll see that he has missed the negative sign!
90 / 9 does equal 10, but 90 / -9 equals -10.
The only way to get a positive answer is if both the divisor and dividend are positive or if they are both negative.
Thus, the correct answer should be -10.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Answer:</u>
The value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2 is -10
<u>Solution:</u>
Need to determine which value of x from given option is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2
Lets first solve 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2
3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2
=> 3x – 12 ≥ 5x + 2
=> 3x – 5x ≥ 12 + 2
=> -2x ≥ 14
=> -x ≥ 7
=> x ≤ -7
All the values of x which are less than or equal to -7 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2. From given option there is only one value that is -10 which is less than -7
Hence from given option -10 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2.
Answer:
x=24
y=36
Step-by-step explanation:
x=smaller number
y=larger number
x+12=y x/2=y/3
x/2=(x+12)/3
cross multiply and distribute
3x=2x+24
x=24
24+12=y
y=36
