1.Give one number that makes the inequality x + 7 > 20 true
nata0808 [166]
1. Any number above 13 works. Why? Because 20-7=13, and to be greater than 20, you must add a number larger than 13.

Examples: 14+7 > 20, 30+7 > 20, 100+7 > 20

2. Any number below 25/3 (which is also 8.3 with a repeating 3) works. Why? Because 25/3=8.3 with a repeating 3, and to remain less than 25, you must multiply by a number less than 8.3 with a repeating 3.

Examples: 3(8) < 25, 3(5) < 25, 3(0) < 25

3. 4 buses. 1 bus will hold 60 students, 2 will hold 120, 3 will hold 180, and 4 will hold 240. The question is trying to trick you into putting now 3.3333333333... buses because that's what 200/60 is, but there is no such thing as a third of a bus. So you need at least 4 buses. (There will be an extra 40 spaces for passengers on the 4th bus, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 200/60 and got 3.3 with a repeating 3. You must round to the higher whole number. Rounding down to 3 buses leaves you with 20 students without a bus.

4. 19 boxes. 18 boxes will only hold 288 candies. The question is trying to trick you into putting down 18.75 boxes because that's what 300/16 is, but there is no such thing as 75% of a box. So you need at least 19 boxes. (There will be an extra 4 spaces for candies in the 19th box, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 300/16 and got 18.75. You must round to the higher whole <span>number. Rounding down to 18 boxes leaves you with 12 candies without a box.</span>

Find the value of x - if x^3-7x² - x = 0<br>a) 17 (b) 71 c) 7<br>d) 1​
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3-7x^2-x =0\\

Take out common factor

x(x^2-7x-1) = 0

The factor inside the parenthesis cannot be factored

Since there is a common factor that we pulled out of the original equation,

set that x equal to zero and solve

x = 0\\ : Therefore x = 0
