Answer:

F and B (as far as I can see).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's simplify the equation. You can easily do this by dividing by -4.

-4x < 20

/-4 /-4

x > -5

REMEMBER- Whenever dividing or multiplying a negative number with inequalities, the sign flips!!

On A, we can see that it has a negative symbol, but if we were to divide that, the sign would flip, making -5 greater than x. That's not what we want.

On B, the 20 is negative instead of the 4. Does this change anything?

4x > -20

/4 /4

x > -5

Nope! It still simplifies to what we had at the beginning so it works!

C and D are slightly confusing me because, well, I don't really see how it's relevant to anything so... It doesn't even have a inequality symbol so I don't know lol.

E is wrong because we need the 5 to be positive.

F is obviously right compared to our first answer.

49 more than the quotient of an unknown number and 12 is 53. What is the value of the unknown number?

nalin [4]

The unknown number is 48 using the equation: x ÷ 12 +49=53 subtract 49 from both sides and get x ÷ 12 = 4 multiplying by 12 on both side to get rid of the ÷12 and get the final answer of x=48.

Using Ratios to Solve Problems - Item 1457 Question 4 of 7 Evan's family drove to a theme park for vacation. They drove the same

azamat

Answer:

150 miles

distance travelled on the third day = 150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: it was given that they drove the same speed throughout the trip. That means their speed is constant for all days;

For the first day

distance = 300 miles

time = 6 hours

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 300/6 = 50 mph

on the third day;

time = 3 hours

Speed = speed on first day = 50 mph

distance = speed × time

distance = 50 mph × 3 hours

distance = 150 miles

distance travelled on the third day = 150 miles

The Venn diagram relating to the question can be found in the picture attached below :

Answer:

A.) 15 ; b.) 17 ; c.) 20 ; d.) 19 ; e.) 55 ; 67; 76 ;100 ; F.) 369

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Cars = C ; Motorcycle = M ; Tricycle = T ; Walking = W

a) How many students ride in a tricycle, motorcycle and car going to their school

Intersection of the 3 modes;

(C n M n T) = 15 ; it is the number which sits in between all the three circles.

B.) How many students ride in both a motorcycle and a tricycle?

(M n T) = 17 ; number in the middle of both circles representing motorcycle and tricycle

C.) How many students ride in both a motorcycle and a car?

(M n C) = 20 ; number in the middle of both circles representing motorcycle and Car

D) How many students ride in both a car and tricycle?

(C n T) = 19 ; number in the middle of both circles representing Car and tricycle

e.)How many students go to school

in a car only = 55

in a motorcycle only = 67

Tricycle only = 76

Walking = 100

F.) How many Grade Seven students of Koronadal National Comprehensive High School are there in all?

(100 + 67 + 76 + 55 + 19 + 20 + 17 + 15) = 369

3/4x=-18 what is the answer?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

X= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

3/4*x-(18)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Simplify —

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(— • x) - 18 = 0

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :

18 18 • 4

18 = —— = ——————

1 4

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3x - (18 • 4) 3x - 72

————————————— = ———————

4 4

Step 3 :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1 Pull out like factors :

3x - 72 = 3 • (x - 24)

Equation at the end of step 3 :

3 • (x - 24)

———————————— = 0

Step 4 :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

3•(x-24)

———————— • 4 = 0 • 4

Now, on the left hand side, the 4 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

3 • (x-24) = 0

Equations which are never true :

4.2 Solve : 3 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.3 Solve : x-24 = 0

Add 24 to both sides of the equation :

x = 24

One solution was found :

x = 24
