Greetings.

The answer is x > 24.

Explanation:

Solving Inequality is almost the same as equation. However, you have to know one thing about solving an Inequality.

<em>That is </em><em>whenever you move the negative coefficient of the variable, you have to swap the sign of Inequality.</em>

-\frac{1}{2}x

Reminder that

-\frac{1}{2}x=-\frac{x}{2}

We use negative x above 2 instead (Easier in solving)

-\frac{x}{2}

Then we move 2 to divide -12.

-x

Because the coefficient for x is in negative. We move -1 to divide -24 as we get 24 (Because negative divide negative = positive)

But remember that "<em>whenever you move the negative coefficient of the variable, you have to swap the sign of Inequality."</em>

So we change from < to > instead.

x>24

A ball is hurled in the air such that its horizontal (x) and vertical (y) shifts are given by the functions x(t) = 20t and y(t)
Viefleur [7K]

x(t) = 20t

y(t) = 40t - 5t^2

Since we are only interested in comparing the two at time t = 5 seconds, we plug in 5 everywhere we see the variable t and then compare x and y

x(5) = 20(5) becomes x(5) = 100

y(5) = 40(5) - 5(5)^2 becomes y(5) = 200 - 125 and then y(5) = 75

The ratio of y to x can be expressed as: y/x, so we can say the ratio is equal to 75/100 or 0.75

Answer: 0.75

The Martinez family walked three over five of a mile in three over eight of an hour. What equation can be used to calculate thei
jolli1 [7]
Velocity=distance/time

v=d/t

So in this case:

v=(3mi/5)/(3hr/8)  that's the equation you need to solve.

v=(3m/5)*(8/3hr)

8/5 mph=(3m/5)*(8/3hr)

1 3/5 mph= (3/5)/(3/8)

So the first statement is correct.
