Answer:

yes and no

Step-by-step explanation:

Thus, the ratios 6 : 8 and 12 : 16 are equal. Therefore, they form a proportion. Thus, the ratios 24 : 28 and 36 : 48 are unequal. Therefore, they do not form a proportion.

2(x-1) ≥ 10 or 3-4x > 15<br> Solve the compound inequality, and show work!

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

$x\geq 6\text{ or } x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the compound inequality:

$2(x-1)\geq10\text{ or } 3-4x>15$

Let's solve each of them individually first:

We have:

$2(x-1)\geq10$

Divide both sides by 2:

$x-1\geq5$

Add 1 to both sides:

$x\geq6$

We have:

$3-4x>15$

Subtract from both sides:

$-4x>12$

Divide both sides by -4:

$x$

Hence, our solution set is:

$x\geq 6\text{ or } x$
