Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x:
-3x + 8 ≥ 14
-3x ≥ 6
x ≤ -2
Notice the sign gets reversed when you divide or multiply by a negative number.
The only option less than -2 is -3, A.
Here's a tip: on multiple choice questions, sometimes it's faster to try each answer instead of solving the equation. This can save time on tests like the SAT or ACT.
Let's try it:
-3(-3) + 8 = 9 + 8 = 17
-3(-1) + 8 = 3 + 8 = 11
-3(0) + 8 = 0 + 8 = 8
-3(3) + 8 = -9 + 8 = -1
So you can see the answer is A.
Answer:
• General equation of a line:
- m is the slope, m = 2/5
- b is y-intercept
• Therefore, equation of line is:
volume of a sphere is 4/3 * PI * r^3
r = 6
r^3 = 6^3 = 216
4/3 * 216 = 288
Volume = 288 PI in^3
Answer:
1.) Amount of potting soil purchased last week.
2) 2p + 4 = 28
3.) 12 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) The unknown information is what we intend to find out using the information given, which is the amount of potting soil Emmanuel bought last week.
2.)
Let amount of potting soil bought last week = p
Amount bought this week = 2p + 4
Since amount bought this week = 28
Hence, we have ;
28 = 2p + 4
28 - 4 = 2p
24 = 2p
p = 24 / 2
p = 12
So eight (8) less than (3) times a number ( 8 - 3x) is (=) twice the sum of x (2x) and (4) so the answer would be 8 - 3x = 2x + 4
