Explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations,
in this inequality, start by isolating the x term which in this
case is -3x by subtracting 5 from both sides.
That leaves you with -3x < -24.
To get x by itself, divide both sides by -3 but watch out.
When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a
negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.
So we have x < 8 and put your final answer in
set notation and it look like this → {x: x < 8}.
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's just call the number x for simplicity.
So, 7x is 8 less than x².
Putting this into an equation would look like this
x² - 8 = 7x
It looks like we'll have to factor this to solve. Before we do that we need to move the 7x to the left side so that everything is together.
x² - 7x -8 = 0
Now, we can proceed. To factor we first need to find the factors of -8.
The factors of -8 are
-2 ⋅ 4, -4 ⋅ 2, -1 ⋅ 8, 1 ⋅ -8.
We need to find the pair of factors that adds up to -7. The only ones that do are -1 and 8.
So now that we have these we can create a pair of binomials using them. This will give us the factored form of this equation.
( x + 1 ) ( x - 8 )
To find the solutions we will have to set them to 0 and solve each of these binomials individually.
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
So, one of the solutions is 1. It's not the one we want, since it's positive.
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
This is the one we want since it is positive.
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Order of operations
Look below
The answer is YES because of the triple negative and double negative
Mean = 29
Q1 = 19
Q2 = 26
Q3 = 38
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 38 - 19 = 19
