You flip the signs when you are dividing by a negative value.
-2x+3>15
-2x>15-3
-2x>12
x<12/-2
x<-6
Now to test this
Try putting x in the original equation when it is -5.
-2(-5)+3>15
10+3>15
13>15
This is false because our answer says x is less than -6.
Now any value less than -6 will work so let's go with -7.
-2(-7)+3>15
14+3>15
17>15
This result is True.
Hope this helps out!
Ok, make sure you put the powers correctly. I know what you mean but someone else may not. So it's step 2. This is because the 4 doesn't mean add a digit.
Answer:
Kinetic theory explains why the volume of a container must expand when the temperature of the gas inside increases in order for the pressure to remain constant.
Step-by-step explanation:
Charles' law: for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure the volume is directly proportional to the temperature.
Analysis of a gas when its temperature increases according to kinetic theory:
The temperature has increased therefore the molecules have more kinetic energy, so they move with a greater velocity.¹
If the container's dimensions do not change the molecules will travel across the container between the walls in less time (because they are moving faster and covering the same distance between the container walls). This will increase the rate of collisions, which would increase the pressure.²
But if the dimensions of the container increased then the molecules would cover a larger distance faster thereby maintaining a constant rate of collisions. This would maintain a constant pressure.
