Good evening,
Answer:
x > 5
x ≤ 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Visualize as if the inequality symbols are equal signs and then solve it as you would for a normal equation, note if you divide by two negative numbers at all you then switch the sign.
On a number line, an inequality sign without the “equal to” is plotted with an open circe.
An inequality sign, with the “equal to” is plotted with a closed circle.
3x - 7> 8
Add seven on both sides, we do this because we want to eliminate the 7 from one side.
3x > 15
Divide both sides by 3, we do this because you want to get rid of the 3 from x.
x > 5
As for the second inequality.
Divide both sides by -3, as I mentioned earlier switch the side since we are dividing by two negative numbers.
x ≤ 12
For the greater than inequality x > 5, plot a open circle on 5 and draw the line going to the right.
For the less than or equal to inequality x ≤ 12, plot a closed cirlce on 12 and draw the line going to the left.
A unique trick is to graph the line based on the direction (right or left) the inequality symbol is pointing to.
$12.89 should be the answer bc 4.5+2.25=6.75 and 87 divided by 6.75 is 12.888888 so i would either round up or down
The microphone was $126.
You would multiply $38 by 6 which equals $228.
Then do $354-$228 which equals $126.
Answer:
The two odd numbers are 15 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
<em>Let the odd numbers be represented with x and y</em>
<em>Let x be the greater number</em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em>Required</em>
Find x and y
Since x and y are consecutive odd numbers and x is greater, then
Substitute y + 2 for x in <em></em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em></em>

<em></em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
Divide both sides by 6
Substitute 15 for y in
<em>Hence; the two odd numbers are 15 and 17</em>
