Solve for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mamont248 [21]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. x < -3 or x > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the equation -4x + 60 < 72.

-4x + 60 < 72

First using the order of operations, subtract 60 from both sides.

-4x + 60 - 60 < 72 - 60

- 4x < 12

Next we want to divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable.

-4x/-4 < 12/-4

x > -3

When you divide a negative number, always make sure the change the sign.

Solve the next equation, 14x + 11 < -31, the same way we solved the last.

14x + 11 < -31

Subtract 11 from both sides.

14x + 11 - 11 < -31 -11

14x < -42

Divide 14 from both sides.

14x/14 < -42/14

x < -3

The equations have different signs.

A. x < -3 or x > -3

Adam jogs at an average speed of 10km/h from his house to the airport. The airport is 7km away from his house. At what time must
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

6:38am

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Average speed V_{avg}=10km/h

Distance traveled d=7km

Generally the velocity across a distance is mathematically given given as V=d/t

10=\frac{7}{t}

t=0.7h\\t=42minutes

Therefore

7:20-42 minutes =6:38am

In the diagram shown of circle A, tangent MB is drawn along with chords BAC and BF . Secant MFE intersects BAC at G. It is known
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

  • arc BF = 76°
  • ∠M = 31°
  • ∠BGE = 121°
  • ∠MFB = 111°

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) ∠FBM is the complement of ∠FBC, so is ...

  ∠FBM = 90° -52° = 38°

The measure of arc BF is twice this angle, so is ...

  arc BF = 2∠FBM = 2(38°)

  arc BF = 76°

__

(b) ∠M is half the difference between the measures of arcs BE and BF, so is ...

  ∠M = (1/2)(138° -76°) = 62°/2

  ∠M = 31°

__

(c) arc FC is the supplement to arc BF, so has measure ...

  arc FC = 180° -arc BF = 180° -76° = 104°

∠BGE is half the sum of arcs BE and FC, so is ...

  ∠BGE = (1/2)(arc BE +arc FC) = (138° +104°)/2

  ∠BGE = 121°

__

(d) ∠MFB is the remaining angle in ∆MFB, so has measure ...

  ∠MFB = 180° -∠M -∠FBM = 180° -31° -38°

  ∠MFB = 111°
