Isolate the x. Subtract 4x from both sides, and add 2 to both sides
2x (-4x) - 2 (+2) > 4x (-4x) + 6 (+2)
2x - 4x > 6 + 2
Simplify. Combine like terms
-2x > 8
Isolate the x. Divide -2 from both sides. Note that you are <em>dividing a negative number</em>. When doing so, flip the sign.
-2x/-2 > 8/-2
x > 8/-2
x < -4
x < -4, or (1) is your answer

Answer:
A. 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that AB is parallel to A'B', therefore,
CB/CB' = CA/CA'
CB' = 7
CB = CB' + BB' = 7 + BB'
CA' = 6
CA = CA' + AA' = 6 + 3 = 9
Plug in the values
(7 + BB')/7 = 9/6
(7 + BB')/7 = 3/2
Cross multiply
2(7 + BB') = 7(3)
14 + 2BB' = 21
Subtract 14 from both sides
2BB' = 21 - 14
2BB' = 7
Divide both sides by 2
BB' = 7/2
BB' = 3.5
Answer:
52 Percent participate in school sports.
Step-by-step explanation:
13/25 = x/100
Multiply 13 x 100 = 1300
Then, divide 1300 by 25 = 52
Move the decimal point two places to the left, and then you get your answer of 52%
