Explain why solving the equation - 3n - 4 = 2 is different from solving the

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First get the answer to -3n - 4 = 2

-3n - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4

-3n = 6

n = 6/-3

n = -2

That answer is the only one that is permitted. It is the only one that completely satisfies the equation.

Now when you do the inequality, look what happens.

-3n - 4 < 2              Add 4 to both sides.

-3n-4+ 4 < 2+4

-3n < 6                  Now there are a bunch of ways (2) to solve this.  

                            No matter which way you do it, the arrow will change.

-3n/-3 > 6/-3

n > - 2

That means that any number that is greater than - 2 will satisfy the inequality.

So n = 0 will work. Even n = - 1 will work. Anything bigger than -2 will work. The equation does not provide that kind of latitude.

What is the ninth term of the arithmetic sequence defined by the rule A(n)= -14+(n-1)(2)
Kruka [31]
If you start counting from 0, you ninth term will be 8. Replace n=8 and calculate:
A(8) = -14 + (8-1)(2) = -14 + (7)(2) = -14 + 14 = 0

If you start counting from 1, your ninth term will be 9. Replace n=9 and calculate:
A(9) = -14 + (9-1)(2) = -14 + (8)(2) = -14 + 16 = 2

Asa received scores of 72, 97, and 82 on her last three math tests. she needs a mean test score of 82 to qualify for the math te
lara [203]

First step is to find what should be the required total of sum of Score after fourth test, to identify how much more or less she need to score in his fourth test.

Since Mean = (Sum of Scores)/number of test

using above formula we determine what is the required sum of score.

82 = (Sum of Scores)/4

⇒ 82 × 4 = 328

So in four test she should have score total as 328

So Score require in fourth test = Required Score Total - (total score in 3 tests)

             = 328 - ( 72 + 97 + 82 ) = 77

So she need score of 77 to be at mean of 82 after fourth test and get qualify for the team
