Answer: D. n > -4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

-3n < 12

<u>Divide both sides by -3. REMEMBER to change the [>,<] signs when multiplying or dividing a negative term</u>

-3n / -3 > 12 / -3

n > -4

Hope this helps!! :)

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Inequalities are solved like normal equations with a few extra rules.

So, we could simply divide both sides by -3 to get our answer, but n<-4 would actually be incorrect. With inequalities, dividing by a negative number means you have to flip the inequality sign. This is because you turn the other side negative so you need to adjust the inequality sign to match it.

So, our final answer will actually be n>-4.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(D) f(x+1)=2f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is:

$-2\frac{2}{3}, -5\frac{1}{3}, -10\frac{2}{3}, -21\frac{1}{3}, -42\frac{2}{3}$

Now,

$-5\frac{1}{3} \div -2\frac{2}{3}=2\\-10\frac{2}{3} \div -5\frac{1}{3} =2$

On continuous calculation, we would discover that the next term is gotten from the preceding term by multiplying it by 2.

Therefore for term f(x), the next term f(x+1) is:

f(x+1)=2f(x)

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (1/3, -1) and ( -2, 9/2)

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$\boxed{m = - \frac{33}{14} }$

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the form below

$\boxed{\boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }}$

Where

$m$ is a slope
$(x_1,~y_1)$ and $(x_2,~y_2)$ are the point of the line

.

So, the slope is

$(\frac{1}{3} ,~ -1) \to x_1 = \frac{1}{3} ~and~y_1 = -1$

$(-2,~ \frac{9}{2} ) \to x_2 = -2~and~y_2 = \frac{9}{2}$

.

$m = \frac{\frac{9}{2} -(-1)}{-2-\frac{1}{3} }$

$m = \frac{\frac{11}{2} }{\frac{-7}{3} }$

$m = \frac{11}{2} \div (-\frac{7}{3} )$

$m = \frac{11}{2} \times (-\frac{3}{7} )$

$m = - \frac{33}{14}$

.

The volleyball team and the wrestling team at Stamford High School are having a joint car wash today,

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Money raised by each team = 94 + 11 = <em>$105</em>

Number of cars washed = <em>11</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Money already present with volleyball team = $50

Money raised by washing each car by volleyball team = $5

Let the number of cars washed = $x$

Money raised by washing cars = $5 $x$

Money already present with volleyball team = $94

Money raised by washing each car by volleyball team = $1

Money raised by washing cars = $1 $x$ = $ $x$

Given that, both the teams have raised same amount of money:

$50+5x=94+x\\\Rightarrow 44=4x\\\Rightarrow x=11$

Money raised by each team = 94 + 11 = <em>$105</em>

Number of cars washed = <em>11</em>
