What is the solution to the inequality below? 2(x -1) - 4(x + 2) < 5x

Mathematics

asambeis [7]3 years ago

Answer:

\boxed {x > -\frac{10}{7}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the given inequality:

2(x - 1) - 4(x + 2) < 5x

-Use <u>Distributive Property</u>:

2(x - 1) - 4(x + 2) < 5x

2x - 2 - 4x - 8 < 5x

-Combine like terms:

2x - 2 - 4x - 8 < 5x

-2x - 10 < 5x

-Subtract both sides by 5x:

-2x - 10 - 5x < 5x - 5x

-7x - 10 < 0

-Add both sides by 10:

-7x - 10 + 10 < + 10

-7x < 10

-When you are dividing a integer by a <u>negative integer</u>, the inequality sign would change. So, divide both sides by -7:

\frac{-7x}{-7} < \frac{10}{-7}

\boxed {x > -\frac{10}{7}} (final answer)

Fill in the blanks below in order to justify whether or not the mapping shown
Fantom [35]

Let's start with the fact that this is a function.  Each element of Set A is paired with exactly one element of Set B.

This makes Set A the set of inputs and Set B the set of outputs.

There are a lot of other boxes to pick from, so I'm not sure what else you'd need to pick to make your answer correct.

Which operation will cancel out division?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The operation that will cancel out division is multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

\frac{2+5x}{2} \\

*in order to solve for x, and get the upper equation without division, you must multiply by the negative reciprocal*

2*(\frac{2+5x}2} )

4+10x\\

*to get x alone, we must subtract 4 from both sides*

10x = -4\\\\-4 / 10 = - 2/5

x=- 2/5

a sphere has a diameter of 7 centimeters what is the surface area is 3.14 to approximate Pi round to the nearest hundredth if ne
Over [174]
Good idea to look up the formula for "surface area of a sphere" and to write it down for later reference.  It is A=4 pi r^2, where r is the radius of the sphere.
If the given sphere has a diameter of 7 cm, what is the radius of this sphere?

Write your answer inside the parentheses, below:

Sphere surface area = 4 pi (r)^2, or (in this case), A = 4(3.14)(        )^2
