Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

- 5 x + 1 = 31

subtract 1 from 31

- 5 x = 31 - 1

- 5 x = 30

Divide 30 by - 5

x = 30 / - 5

x = - 6

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 1 = 31

Subtract 1 from each side

-5x + 1-1 = 31-1

-5x = 30

Divide by -5

-5x/-5 = 20/-5

x = -6

The temperature was 12 degrees below zero then dropped another 14 degrees find the new temperature
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

26 degrees below zero

Step-by-step explanation:

add the two numbers together and since 12 below zero would be -12 and it drops 14 more it would be -12 - 14 which would lead to -26 because since both are negative its basically adding then putting the negative sign in front.

11y^2-19y-10=-4y^2 <br> all real solutions
tangare [24]

Answer:

y=5/3 is the only real solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y over the real numbers:

11 y^2 - 19 y - 10 = -4 y^2

Add 4 y^2 to both sides:

15 y^2 - 19 y - 10 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(3 y - 5) (5 y + 2) = 0

Split into two equations:

3 y - 5 = 0 or 5 y + 2 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

3 y = 5 or 5 y + 2 = 0

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 5/3 or 5 y + 2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

y = 5/3 or 5 y = -2

Divide both sides by 5:

Answer: |

| y = 5/3 or y = -2/5

Determine whether the ordered pair (1, 1) is a solution of the inequality. y ≤ -3x+1
solong [7]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:  \textsf{(1, 1) is NOT a solution of the inequality}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:  y \le-3x + 1

Find:  \textsf{Determine if (1, 1) is a solution of the inequality}

Solution:  In order to determine if (1, 1) is a solution we need to plug in 1 for the x values and 1 for the y values and see if the equation evaluated to true.

<u>Plug in the values</u>

  • y \le-3x + 1
  • 1 \le-3(1) + 1

<u>Simplify</u>

  • 1 \le-3 + 1
  • 1 \le-2

As we can see the expression states that 1 is less than or equal to -2 which is false therefore (1, 1) is NOT a solution of the inequality.
