Answer:

1/6 < x

Step-by-step explanation:

–2(8x – 4) < 2x + 5

Distribute

-16x +8 < 2x+5

Add 16x to each side

-16x+8+16x < 2x+16x+5

8<18x+5

Subtract 5 from each side

8-5 < 18x+5-5

3 <18x

Divide each side by 18

3/18 <18x/18

1/6 < x

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{3 lbs of "c"}}{3c}+\stackrel{\textit{5 lbs of "w"}}{5w}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{costs}}{15} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{12 lbs of "c"}}{12c}+\stackrel{\textit{2 lbs of "w"}}{2w}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{costs}}{33} \end{cases}\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's use elimination} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{llccccccl} 3c+5w=15&\times (-4)\implies &-12c&+&-20w&=&-60\\ 12c+2w=33&&12c&+&2w&=&33\\ \cline{3-7}\\ &&0&&-18w&=&-27 \end{array}$

$\bf -18w=-27\implies w=\cfrac{-27}{-18}\implies \blacktriangleright w=\cfrac{3}{2} \blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 1st equation}}{3c+5\left(\cfrac{3}{2} \right)=15}\implies 3c+\cfrac{15}{2}=15 \implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2\left( 3c+\cfrac{15}{2} \right)=2(15)} \\\\\\ 6c+15=30\implies 6c=15\implies c=\cfrac{15}{6}\implies \blacktriangleright c=\cfrac{5}{2} \blacktriangleleft$

Can anybody help me ?????????????????????? please geometry

Where the angle bisectors intersect determines the center of the incircle.
Where the side perpendicular bisectors intersect determines the center of the center of the circumcircle. From these definitions, you should be able to determine the points you want.

A scale on a map shows that 2 inches = 25 miles.

Simora [160]

A:
2 inches - 25 miles
x inches - 60 miles

Set up a proportion:
$\frac{2}{25} = \frac{x}{60} \\ \\
\frac{2}{25} \times 60=x \\ \\
\frac{120}{25}=x \\ \\
x=4.8$

4.8 inches on the map represent 60 miles.

B:
2 inches - 25 miles
1/4 inches - x miles

Set up a proportion:
$\frac{2}{25}=\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{x} \\ \\
\frac{2}{25}x=\frac{1}{4} \\ \\
x=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{25}{2} \\ \\
x=\frac{25}{8} \\ \\
x=3.125$

3.125 miles are represented by 1/4 inches on the map.
