Can someone please help me on number 16-ABC

Mathematics

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.

VashaNatasha [74]
<span>s = 22 degrees
       
Assuming I'm interpreting your description accurately, the top right angle of line b will also be 158 degrees because it's a corresponding angle to the top right angle of line a. That means that the top left angle of line b will be a supplementary angle. And supplementary angles add up to 180. So 180 - 158 = 22.</span>
