Answer:

x ≤ -7

Step-by-step explanation

<em>the steps to solve this are:</em>

1. Add 10 to both sides to get the x value and constant isolated on both sides.

-2x ≥ 14

2. Divide both sides by -2 to get the x value

x ≥ -7

3. Flip the inequality sign since you divided by a negative x-value.

x ≤ -7

Hope i could help! :)

Can any negative integer be greater than a positive integer explain

Keith_Richards [23]

No, it is impossible. Intuitively, a negative number sits at the left of 0 on the number line, and a positive number sits at the right of 0 on the number line. And a number x is greater than another number y if x sits at the right of y on the number line. So, every positive number is greater than any negative number.

Also, by definition, a positive number is greater than 0, and a negative number is smaller than zero. So, if x is positive and y is negative, you have

$y < 0 < x$

and since the relation of order "<" is transitive, this implies

$y < x$

Find the values of x and y if 5 ˣ⁻³ x 3²ʸ⁻⁸ =225

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

x = 5, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

${5}^{x - 3} \times {3}^{2y - 8} = 225 \\ {5}^{x - 3} \times {3}^{2y - 8} = 25 \times 9 \\ {5}^{x - 3} \times {3}^{2y - 8} = {5}^{2} \times {3}^{2} \\ equating \: like \: power \: terms \: from \: both \:\\ sides \\ {5}^{x - 3} = {5}^{2} \\ x - 3 = 2 (Bases\: are\: equal, \: so\: exponents \: \\will\: also\: be\: equal) \\ x = 3 + 2 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ x = 5}} \\ \\ {3}^{2y - 8} = {3}^{2} \\ 2y - 8 = 2(Bases\: are\: equal, \: so\: exponents \: \\will\: also\: be\: equal) \\ 2y = 2 + 8 \\ 2y = 10 \\ y = \frac{10}{2} \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{y = 5}}$
