-2x + 5 < 7
-2x + 5 < 7
<u> -5 -5 </u> deduct 5 from both sides
-2x < 2
<u>÷ -2 ÷ -2 </u> divide both sides by negative 2. Because of the division
x > -1 using a negative number, the sign is then reversed.
from < it becomes >.
The value of x should be greater than -1. It can be 0, 1, 2, so on...
To check: Revert back to the original sign which is <.
x = 1
-2x + 5 < 7
-2(1) + 5 < 7
-2 + 5 < 7
3 < 7
Answer:
<u>5,400 yd²</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
New total area :
- Original area x scale factor
- 600 yd² x 9
- <u>5,400 yd²</u>
It would be 13.50 because 50% off of 18$ is 9$ but it’s not 50% off itS 25% off so If you take the 50% Off price of 9$ and add 4.50 (One more 1/4th) you get $13.50
Answer:
(1, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation of the lines x + 2y = 5 and 2x - 3y = -4
First we need to make x the subject of the formulas
For x+2y = 5
x = 5 - 2y ... 1
For 2x - 3y = -4
2x = -4+3y
x = (-4+3y)/2 ... 2
Equate 1 and 2
5 - 2y = (-4+3y)/2
2(5-2y) = -4+3y
10 - 4y = -4+3y
-4 -3y = -4-10
-7y = -14
y = 14/7
y = 2
Substitute y = 2 into 1
x = 5 = 2y
x = 5 - 2(2)
x = 5 - 4
x = 1
Hence the point where the lines meet will be at (1, 2)
