Solve for x first
-6x - 42 = -4x -2
-6x = -4x + 40
- 2x = 40
X = -20
The equation has one solution

Which are correct representation of the inequality minus 32X -5 less than 52 minus X select two options

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The value of X is more than equal to -1.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the correct representation of the inequality 'minus 32X -5 less than 52 minus X'

LHS of the inequality will be : -32x-5

RHS of the inequality will be : (52-X)

So,

$-32X-5\leq 52-X$

Adding X both sides

$-32X-5+X\leq 52-X+X\\\\-31X-5\leq 52$

Adding 5 to both sides,

$-31X-5+5\leq 52+5\\\\-31X\leq 57$

Dividing both sides by -31.

$X\geq \dfrac{-57}{31}\\\\X\geq -1.83$

So, the value of X is more than equal to -1.83.

= 2. Given the quadratic equation 3x2 – 8x + k = 0 has no real roots. Find the range of values of k.

VashaNatasha [74]

$\text{If there are no real roots, then}\\\\~~~~~\text{Discriminant} < 0\\\\\implies b^2 -4ac < 0\\\\\implies (-8)^2 -4 \cdot 3 k < 0\\\\\implies 64-12k < 0\\\\\ \implies 12k > 64\\\\\implies k > \dfrac{64}{12}\\\\\implies k > \dfrac{16}3\\\\\text{Interval,}~ \left( \dfrac{16}3, ~\infty\right)$

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (-9, -2) and (1, 3) is y – 3 = {(x - 1). What is the

Marina86 [1]

Option A is the correct answer, y = x + 2

y - 3 = x-1

If you bring the 3 to the R.H.S, it becomes y = x + 2

If you substitute the values,

3 = 1 + 2

3 = 3

Thus, e equation is correct
