Answer: x < -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x > 72

x < -9 when dividing a negative number in an inequality, change the sign to opposite.

the number are less than -9.

If 7x - 4y = 23 and x + y = 8, what is the value of x?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 4y = 23 and x + y = 8

Multiply the second equation by 4

4x + 4y = 32

Add this to the first equation

7x - 4y = 23

4x + 4y = 32

11x = 55

Divide each side by 11

11x/11 = 55/11

x = 5

How much would $150 invested at 8% interest compounded continuously be worth after 17 years

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Approximately $584.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Your formula is A=Pe^rt

A is what you're looking for, the amount

P is the principal aka what you put into the account: $150

e is the mathematical constant. You'd plug that into your calculator.

r is the rate, you'd put it into the equation as a decimal: 8%=.08

t is the time in years: 17

A=150e^.08x17 <em>you can plug this into your calculator</em>

A=$584.43

Let A be a set of numbers.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

a. closed under addition and multiplication

b. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication.

c. not closed under addition and multiplication

d. closed under addition and multiplication

e. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be a set of all integers divisible by 5.

Let $x,y$ ∈A such that $x=5m\,,\,y=5n$

Find $x+y,xy$

$x+y=5m+5n=5(m+n)$

So, $x+y$ is divisible by 5.

$xy=(5m)(5n)=25mn=5(5mn)$

So,

$xy$ is divisible by 5.

Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.

Let A = { 2n +1 | n ∈ Z}

Let $x,y$ ∈A such that $x=2m+1\,,\,y=2n+1$ where m, n ∈ Z.

Find $x+y,xy$

$x+y=2m+1+2n+1=2m+2n+2=2(m+n+1)$

So,

$x+y$ ∉ A

$xy=(2m+1)(2n+1)=4mn+2m+2n+1=2(2mn+m+n)+1$

So,

$xy$ ∈ A

Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.

$Let A=\{2,5,8,11,14,...\}$

Let $x=2,y=5$ but $x+y=2+5=7$ ∉A

Also,

$xy=2(5)=10$ ∉A

Therefore, A is not closed under addition and multiplication.

Let A = { 17n: n∈Z}

Let $x,y$ ∈ A such that $x=17n,y=17m$

Find x + y and xy

$x+y=17n+17m=17(n+m)$

$xy=(17m)(17n)=289mn=17(17mn)$

So,

$x+y,xy$ ∈ A

Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.

Let A be the set of nonzero real numbers.

Let $x,y$ ∈ A such that $x=-1,y=1$

Find x + y

$x+y=-1+1=0$

So,

$x+y$ ∈ A

Also, if x and y are two nonzero real numbers then xy is also a non-zero real number.

Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.
