Alright, let's take an example. 1 is less than 2, so we can write it as 1<2. However, if we multiplied both sides by -1 without changing anything else, we get -1<-2, but -1 is greater than -2 because it is less negative, so the correct way of writing it would be -1>-2. Therefore, since a number that is less positive than another becomes less negative (and therefore higher) when both are multiplied by -1, we have to change the side of the inequality
Answer:
512
Step-by-step explanation:
∛n = 8
n = 512
double check
∛512 = ∛(8)^3 = 8
Answer:
2. x = 2 & y = 4
3. x = 4 & y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2. x + y = 6
2x + y = 8 (multiply the first equation by -1, so you can eliminate the ys)
- x - y = -6
2x + y = 8 (now add the variables together)
x = 2 (plug in x in one of the equations to find out y)
x + y = 6
(2) + y = 6
-2 -2
y = 4
3. 3x + y = 14
x = 2y (plug in x into the first equation and solve it for y)
3(2y) + y = 14
6y + y = 14
7y = 14
y = 2 (plug in y in one of the equations to find out x)
x = 2y
x = 2(2)
x = 4
4. One number (x) is 2 more (+2) than twice (times 2) as large as another. their sum is 17. Find the numbers.
2x + 2 = 17 (solve for x)
-2 -2
2x = 15
x = 7.5
6. 7 (4x + 1) - (x + 6) (start by distributing 7 into the first parenthesis)
(28x + 7) - (x + 6) (do the same to the other parenthesis by distributing -1)
(28x + 7) (-x - 6) (and now just combine like terms)
28x + 7 - x - 6
28x - x + 7 - 6
27x + 1

Answer:
<em>Zeina had 35 books and Ali had 5 books</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
We know Zeina has seven times as many books as Ali. If we call
x = Number of books Ali has
Then Zeina has
7x = Number of books Zeina has
We also know if Zeina gave Ali 15 books, they would have the same number of books, thus:
x + 15 = 7x - 15
Adding 15:
x + 15 +15 = 7x
Subtracting x:
15 +15 = 7x - x
Operating:
30 = 6x
Dividing by 6:
x = 30 / 6
x =5
7x = 35
Thus Zeina had 35 books and Ali had 5 books
