Mathematics

Answer: x > 6, x < -8

Subtract 4 from both sides.

−3∣x+1∣<−17−4

Then simplify -17 - 4 to -21.

−3∣x+1∣<−21

Divide both sides by −3.

|x + 1| > -21/-3

Two negatives make a positive.

|x + 1| > 21/3

simplify 21/3 to 7

Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

x + 1 > 7

-(x + 1) > 7

Solve the 1st equation: x + 1 > 7

x > 6

Solve the 2nd equation: -(x + 1) > 7

x < -8

last collect all solutions

x > 6, x < -8

Help me solve this equation. Find f(x)-g(x)

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

- 2x³

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) - g(x)

= $x^{\frac{1}{2} }$ - x - (2x³ - $x^{\frac{1}{2} }$ - x) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= $x^{\frac{1}{2} }$ - x - 2x³ + $x^{\frac{1}{2} }$ + x ← collect like terms )

= - 2x³

Scores are 78,81,83, and 76 what must she earn on the fifth test to earn an average test score of 81

iogann1982 [59]

The average value of a data set is equal to the sum of each entry divided by the number of entries. In this case, we have 5 scores, so we can find set up the following equation where x is the fifth score:

$\dfrac{78+81+83+76+x}{5} = 81$

Now solve for x:

$78 + 81 + 83 + 76 + x = 81(5)$

$318 + x = 405$

$x = 87$

The fifth score must be 87.
