Can someone please help me on number 16-ABC

Mathematics
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

-2x < 10

-6 < -2x

<u>Part a) Is x = 0 a solution to both inequalities</u>

FOR  -2x < 10

substituting x = 0 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(0) < 10

0 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 0 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 0 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR  -6 < -2x

substituting x = 0 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(0)

-6 < 0

TRUE!

Thus, x = 0 satisfies the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 0 is the solution to the inequality -6 < -2x

Conclusion:

x = 0 is a solution to both inequalites.

<u>Part b) Is x = 4 a solution to both inequalities</u>

FOR  -2x < 10

substituting x = 4 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(4) < 10

-12 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 4 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 4 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR  -6 < -2x

substituting x = 4 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(4)

-6 < -8

FALSE!

Thus, x = 4 does not satisfiy the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 4 is the NOT a solution to the inequality -6 < -2x.

Conclusion:

x = 4 is NOT a solution to both inequalites.

Part c) Find another value of x that is a solution to both inequalities.

<u>solving -2x < 10</u>

-2x\:

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverses the inequality)

\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)>10\left(-1\right)

Simplify

2x>-10

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}>\frac{-10}{2}

x>-5

-2x-5\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}

<u>solving -6 < -2x</u>

-6 < -2x

switch sides

-2x>-6

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverses the inequality)

\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)

Simplify

2x

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}

x

-6

Thus, the two intervals:

\left(-\infty \:,\:3\right)

\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)

The intersection of these two intervals would be the solution to both inequalities.

\left(-\infty \:,\:3\right)  and \left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)

As x = 1 is included in both intervals.

so x = 1 would be another solution common to both inequalities.

<h3>SUBSTITUTING x = 1</h3>

FOR  -2x < 10

substituting x = 1 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(1) < 10

-3 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 1 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR  -6 < -2x

substituting x = 1 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(1)

-6 < -2

TRUE!

Thus, x = 1 satisfies the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the inequality -6 < -2x.

Conclusion:

x = 1 is a solution common to both inequalites.

Can you help me with this problem: Elena and Jada both read at a constant rate, but Elena reads more slowly. For every 4 pages t
Paraphin [41]

4 pages Elena = 5 pages Jada

To figure out how many pages Jada reads if Elena reads 1, divide 5 by 4: 1.25. This means that for every 1 page Elena reads, Jada reads 1.25 pages.

So if Elena reads 9 pages, multiply 1.25 by 9: 11.25 pages that Jada reads.

For S pages read by Elena, this is a variable, so I’m assuming it means for every S pages, Jada reads 1.25S

3 /8 + 2/ 3 = 9/ 24 + 16/ 24 = 25/ 24 =
Alchen [17]
Convert the denominator of the first two fractions to 24 since 3 and 8 can fit into 24.

3/8=9/24

2/3=16/24

Now add them together.

9/24+16/24=25/24

Next add the second two fractions 9/24 and 16/24.

9/24+16/24=25/24


Since all fractions equal 25/24, the equation was true!

Hope this helps!
