Answer:

x<6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's work on the left hand side of your inequality, the 5x+2

This means, for instance, to see if it can be simplified at all.

Multiply x and 5

Multiply x and 1

The x just gets copied along.

The answer is x

5*x evaluates to 5x

5*x+2 evaluates to 5x+2

So, all-in-all, the left hand side of your inequality can be written as: 5x+2

Now, let's work on the right hand side of your inequality, the 32

The right hand side of your inequality can be written as: 32

So with these (any) simplifications, the inequality we'll set out to solve is:

5x+2 ‹ 32

Move the 2 to the right hand side by subtracting 2 from both sides, like this:

From the left hand side:

2 - 2 = 0

The answer is 5x

From the right hand side:

32 - 2 = 30

The answer is 30

Now, the inequality reads:

5x ‹ 30

To isolate the x, we have to divide both sides of the inequality by the other "stuff" (variables or coefficients)

around the x on the left side of the inequality.

The last step is to divide both sides of the inequality by 5 like this:

To divide x by 1

The x just gets copied along in the numerator.

The answer is x

5x ÷ 5 = x

30 ÷ 5 = 6

The solution to your inequality is:

x ‹ 6

Answer:

x=6

Take 2 to the other side, the sign becomes negative. You're then left with 5x is less than 30. After that just divide both sides with 5 so that you're left with x.

Erin is taking part in a play at the community theater. The cast and crew ordered T-shirts for all the volunteers. The cost of a

kumpel [21]

Well what you would do is you would first subtract 45 from 325 (325-45) and that would become 280. Then you would divide that number by 8 (the cost of the T-shirt)(280/8) and then your answer would be 35. So the maximum number of T-shirts she will be able to buy is 38. Hope this will help you!

Does the point (-4, 2) lie inside or outside or on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25?

stiv31 [10]

Given equation of the Circle is ,

$\sf\implies x^2 + y^2 = 25$

And we need to tell that whether the point (-4,2) lies inside or outside the circle. On converting the equation into Standard form and determinimg the centre of the circle as ,

$\sf\implies (x-0)^2 +( y-0)^2 = 5 ^2$

Here we can say that ,

• Radius = 5 units

• Centre = (0,0)

Finding distance between the two points :-

$\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ (0+4)^2+(2-0)^2} \\\\\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ 16 + 4 } \\\\\sf\implies Distance =\sqrt{20}\\\\\sf\implies\red{ Distance = 4.47 }$

Here we can see that the distance of point from centre is less than the radius.

Hence the point lies within the circle .

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, −5) and (4, 1)? 2 −4/5 5/4 3

satela [25.4K]

Just use y2-y2/x2-x1

so

1+5 (because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive)

4-2

6/2

or 3/1 which is the same as 3

Jessica makes $9.00 an hour babysitting her sister. If Jessica made $38.25 how many hours did she babysit?

lozanna [386]

Answer

4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

She would have baby sat for 4 hours and 15 minutes.

the 15 minutes comes in when we have the .25 because 1/4 of an hour is 15 minutes.

we can check this if we do 38.25 divided by 4.25 and we get 9.

Arc length and area

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$60^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle ABC is formed by two tangents drawn from point B outside the circle.

The measure of angle ABC is half the difference between the two intercepted arcs. One of those arcs is arc ADC, the big one with measure 240 degrees. The smaller arc, closer to point B, is arc AC with measure 120 degrees.

$m\angle ABC=\frac{1}{2}(240^\circ - 120^\circ)=60^\circ$

To find out more, do an Internet search for "arcs and angles in circles".
