Answer:

a<-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you have to isolate a. This means you will have to add 5 to both sides. This will make the equation -2a>8. Divide both sides by 2 to get -a>4. Divide each side by -1 to get a>-4. Because you have to flip the sign when you divide by a negative number, you have to change it into a<-4.

A cell phone provider offers a plan that costs $30 per month plus $0.10 per text message sent or received. A comparable plan c

mariarad [96]

300 messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plan to cost same each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost per month = $30

Per text sent or received charges = $0.10

Let,

x be the number of texts sent or received.

A(x) = 0.10x+30

A comparable plan costs = $60 per month

Text messages are unlimited.

B(x) = 60

For the two plans to cost equal;

A(x) = B(x)

$0.10x+30=60\\0.10x=60-30\\0.10x=30$

Dividing both sides by 0.10

$\frac{0.10x}{0.10}=\frac{30}{0.10}\\x=300$

300 messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plan to cost same each month.

What value of x satisfies the equation below?<br> 12 ( x - 2 ) + 3 x = 1 2 ( x + 6 ) + 2

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

x = 32.6666667

Step-by-step explanation:

12(x - 2) + 3x = 12(x + 6) + 2

Distribute;

12x - 24 + 3x = 12x + 72 + 2

Collect like terms;

15x - 24 = 12x + 74

Subtract 12x from both sides;

3x - 24 = 74

Add 24 to both sides;

3x = 98

Divide both sides by 3;

x = 32.6666667
