Answer:

1.8 minutes or 108 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells us that the larger belt moves 300 lbs in 2 mins. And this is equal to 150 lb per minute

The question also tells us that a smaller belt moves the same quantity of 300 lbs in 18 mins. And this is equal to an average of 16.667 lb per min.

Both belts will move at a rate of 166.667 lb per min.

So it will take them 300 / 166.667 = 1.8 min or 108 s.

Therefore, the answer is 1.8 min

HELP ME PLEASE I NEED HELP​
Olin [163]

Step-by-step explanation:

You should prolly subtract 2 from both sides first.

So you get, -|2/5x + 3| > -1 2/5

  • Add three to both sides
  • -|2/5x| = -1 2/5
  • Do -1 and 2/5 divided by 2/5 to get -3.5, x > -3.5

One of the answers is x > -3.5 but you need to switch the sign to less than and make the other side the opposite.

-( \frac{2}{5}x + 3 ) < 1 \frac{2}{5}

You see that, switched the sign and made whats on the right side opposite. So now solve for x again but with this new equation. Also, the parentheses are absolute value signs

Subtract 3 from both sides

-|2/5x| < -1 and 3/5

Divide 2/5 from each side to get x < -4

I hope I'm correct, my bad if I'm wrong
