Answer:

$- 7 < (3x + 2) < 14 \\ \\ = \: \: - 7 - 2 < 3x < 14 - 2 \\ \\ = \: \: - 9 < 3x < 12 \\ \\ = \: \: \frac{ - 9}{3} < \frac{3x}{3} < \frac{12}{3} \\ \\ = { \boxed{ \boxed{ - 3 < x < 4}}}$

Answer:

-3<x<4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the double inequality -7<3x+2<14 and we want to solve it.

If we have a double inequality and we want to do something (like subtract 3), then we must subtract 3 from the left side, middle, and right side.

An example would be with the inequality 1<x+3<5

In order to isolate x, we'll subtract 3 from the center. However, we'll also be needing to subtract 3 from the left (1-3) and the right (5-3)

Hence,

1<x+3<5

-3 -3 -3

___________

-2<x<2

In our problem then, we'll be subtracting 2 from EVERY side.

-7<3x+2<14

-2 -2 -2

________________

-9 < 3x < 12

Now in order to isolate x, we'll divide by 3, which once again, we divide on EVERY side

-3<x<4

Hope this helps!

Answer:

'There are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School' is the correct statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, it is clear that

The data set containing Poplar Middle School:

20 20 20 21 21 21 21 21 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 23 23 23 23 24

The mean of a data set is the sum of the terms divided by the total number of terms. Using math notation we have:

$\mu = 435/20$

$=\frac{87}{4}$

$= 21.75$

The data set containing Oak Middle School:

20 21 21 22 22 23 23 23 23 24 24 24 25 25 26 26 27 27 28 29

The mean of a data set is the sum of the terms divided by the total number of terms. Using math notation we have:

$\mu = 483/20$

$=24.15$

So, the difference in mean will be:

$24.15 - 21.75 = 2.4$

Therefore, 'there are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School' is the correct statement.

You survey your class and record each students first name, last name, and age. You then make ordered pairs of (first name, age).

It is a relation because each person will most likely have a different name and you can have plenty of the same outputs just as long as the input doesn't repeat at all.

Step-by-step explanation:

I solved it wrong the first time then i double check with wolframalpha and got the correct number.

We know that the area of the tile is 18 $\sqrt{3}$ and it makes a triangle, we also know the base and height. In this case the base is 2 $\sqrt{3}^{x/12}$ and the height is also given which is $\sqrt{3}^{\frac{x}{6} }$ .
