Answer

-15x - 30 > -3x + 54

Explanation

Let's break this sentence down.

Thirty less than means [whatever goes before] minus 30.

Negative fifteen is -15.

Times a number means multiplying by a number. The number will be a variable. And in this case, the variable will be x.

Is greater than means more than.

Negative three is -3.

Times a number means multiplying by a number (in case you forgot or get confused, I wrote it again). That number will be a variable; x. This is the same number.

Now let's write down the equation.

Let's break both sides of the inequality, meaning the left side of 'greater than' and the right side.

The left side says this; "thirty less than negative fifteen times a number."

So let's write this.

So thirty less is minus 30. You are subtracting from "negative fifteen times a number."

Negative fifteen is -15... times a number is -15x.

So the left side of the inequality is -15x - 30.

The right side says this; "54 more than negative three times a number."

54 more than means adding 54 meaning + 54.

And you are adding 54 to "negative three times a number."

Negative three is -3, times a number is -3x.

So the right side of the inequality is -3x + 54.

So the full inequality is -15x - 30 > -3x + 54.

Identify the terms of the expression 9a+4b-18
madreJ [45]

Hey there!

We may ask. What exactly is a term anyways.

Well, a term is a single number, a variable, or a number and a variable that would have to be multiply together. This is what a term would be.

Therefore, as we look above, we see the following equation.

9a+4b-18

18 is a term

4b is a term

9a is a term

This whole thing, would be called an expression, as this is expression something. Perhaps the amount of students who ate ice-cream at a football game, or something similar.

I hope you found this helpful! :)

0.85 in fractional notation
artcher [175]
If you would like to write 0.85 in a fractional notation, you can do this using the following steps:

0.85 = 85/100 which simplifies to 17/20 <span>(the common factor of 85 and 100 is 5, so you can divide both numbers by 5).

The correct result would be 17/20.</span>

<span>(A) Find the approximate length of the plank. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Given that the distance of the ground is 3ft.
In order to get the length of the plank,
we can use the this one.

cos 49 = ground / plank
cos 49 = 3 / plank
plank = cos 49 / 3
plank = 0.10 ft

</span><span>(b) Find the height above the ground where the plank touches the wall. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
</span><span>
The remaining angle is equal to
angle = 180 - (90+49)
angle = 41

Finding the height.
tan 41 = height / ground
tan 41 = height / 3
height = tan 41 / 3
height = 0.05 ft.

(A) 0.10 feet
(B) 0.05 feet</span>
