Answer:

x < 10

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-8 < 12

2x < 12+8

2x < 20

x < 20/2

x < 10

that means the highest value of x will be 9

example: (2*9)-8 = 18-8 = 10, which is less than 12

The area of the base of a cylindrical container is defined by b(x) = x*2 - x + 12. Find

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: $V=x^3-2x^2+13x-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The area of the base is given by $b(x)=x^2-x+12$

The height of the container is $h(x)=x-1$

The volume of the cylindrical container is

$V=Area\times height$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow V=\left( x^2-x+12\right)\cdot \left(x-1\right)\\\Rightarrow V=x^3-x^2+12x-x^2+x-12\\\Rightarrow V=x^3-2x^2+13x-12$

In ABC the measure of angle a is 2X +3 the measure of angle B is 4X +2 and the measure of angle C is 2X-1 what are the measures

Novay_Z [31]

Angle A is 2x + 3
Angle B is 4x + 2
Angle C is 2x - 1

The three angles add up to 180
So:
2x + 3 + 4x + 2 + 2x - 1 = 180
Combine terms
8x + 4 = 180
Subtract 4
8x = 176
x = 22

Now we solve for the angles:
Angle A is 2(22) + 3 = 44 + 3 = 47
Angle B is 4(22) + 2 = 88 + 2 = 90
Angle C is 2(22) - 1 = 44 - 1 = 43

Quick check: 47 + 90 + 43 = 180

Solve 2(a + 7) = 5a - 13

timurjin [86]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a + 7) = 5a - 13

We want to bring a to one side, I will choose to bring it to the right

First, expand the bracket by multiplying 2 with a + 7

2a + 14 = 5a - 13

Bring the -13 to the left by adding 13 to both sides

2a + 14 + 13 = 5a - 13 + 13

Simplify

2a + 27 = 5a

Bring the 2a to the right by subtracting 2a from both sides

2a - 2a + 27 = 5a - 2a

Simplify

27 = 5a - 2a

27 = 3a

Bring the 3 to the left by dividing both sides by 3

27÷3 = a

Simplify

a = 9
