Explain the difference between properties of equality and properties of inequality when solving equations and inequalities

Answer: An equality is a statement of equal measure. It stands for an absolute statement, without any leeway. That is, there is only a set number of solutions they can take.

Here is an example: x + 17 = 20

In this case, x can only take one solution because it is an absolute statement. Obviously, these can change, but conceptually, they will contain a set of answers a variable can take.

An equality with degree of n will inevitably have n number of answers a variable can take.

However, there are more solutions x can take for an equality. This is because inequality signs are a broader set of equality signs.

Example: x + 17 > 20

In the previous example, there was only one solution that x can take, namely x = 3. However, if we have an inequality, we're merely finding all sets of values x can take that will keep this statement true. In this case, there are an infinite amount of solutions, provided x is greater than 3.

Properties of inequalities vs equalities

This segment is quite tricky to grasp, because we are so used to the equality. The hardest section is to determine when to change the inequality sign. Whenever we multiply or divide by a negative number, we must flip the sign.

Answer: the perimeter is 214. AB's half is 32.5 and BC's whole is 65

Step-by-step explanation: 10x-5 and 12x-26 are equal, as shown by the marks on their lines, so we can set them equal to each other to solve for x. when solved x=7. then plug 7 into each equation to get 65. lastly add up 84+65+65 to get 214.

What makes composing functions different from doing an arithmetic operation of two functions such as adding or dividing them?
11111nata11111 [884]

function composition is an operation that takes two functions f and g and produces a function h such that h(x) = g(f(x)). In this operation, the function g is applied to the result of applying the function f to x.
