Answer:
B.
The solution of |2x + 8| > 6 includes all values that are less than –7 or greater than –1.
The solution of |2x + 8| < 6 includes all values that are greater than –7 and less than –1.
__
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the solution by "unfolding" the absolute value, then dividing by 2 and subtracting 4:
-6 > 2x +8 > 6 . . . . . read this as -6 is less than 2x+8 or 2x+8 is greater than 6
-3 > x +4 > 3 . . . . . . .divide by 2
-7 > x > -1 . . . . . . . . . solution to the first inequality: x is less than -7 or greater than -1.
___
The solution to the other inequality is identical, except the direction of the comparison is reversed. It is read differently, because the segments overlap, rather than being disjoint.
-7 < x < -1 . . . . . . . . solution to the second inequality: x is greater than -7 and less than -1.
__
These descriptions match choice B.
Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
For polygon PQRST to be considered a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE, it means every segments of polygon ABCDE were increased proportionally by a scale factor.
The segments in polygon PQRST were not gotten using the same scale factor, hence, it is not a scaled copy of the original polygon, ABCDE.
Segment CD = 2 units, it corresponds to segment RS = 4 units. Scale factor = RS/CD = 4/2 = 2
Segment BC = 1 unit, it corresponds to segment QR = 1 unit. Scale factor = QR/BC = 1/1 = 1 units.
Varying scale factor shows polygon PQRST is not a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE.
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 20 = 4x + 32 ( F rule angles)
8x-4x=32+20
4x=52
x=52/4
x=13
Answer:
x = 1
y= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this system of equation , simultaneously using the substitution method
we say let
7 x + y = 5 ............................................. equation 1
2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2
from equation 2
2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2
2x - 4 = y
y = 2x -4.......................................................... equation 3
put the value of the y = 2x -4 into equation 1
7 x + y = 5 ............................................. equation 1
7x + 2x - 4 = 5
9x-4 = 5
9x = 5 + 4
9x = 9
divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 9
9x/9 = 9/9
x = 1
substitute the value of x = 1 into equation 3
y = 2x -4.......................................................... equation 3
y = 2(1) -4
y = 2 - 4
y = -2
to check if you are correct put the value of x and y into any of the equations and you will see that the left hand side will be equal to the right hand side.
2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2
2(1) -(-2) = 4
2 + 2 = 4
4=4................................... proved
