Ryan is trying a low-carbohydrate diet. He would like to keep the amount of carbs consumed in grams between the levels shown in

the following compound inequality:
110 < 2x + 10 and 2x + 10 < 310

Solve for x in this inequality, and explain what the answer represents.

x > 50 and x < 150; Ryan needs to consume more than 50 grams of carbohydrates, but less than 150 grams of carbohydrates.
x < 50 and x > 150; Ryan needs to consume less than 50 grams of carbohydrates or more than 150 grams of carbohydrates.
x > 60 and x < 160; Ryan needs to consume more than 60 grams of carbohydrates, but less than 160 grams of carbohydrates.
x < 60 and x > 160; Ryan needs to consume less than 60 grams of carbohydrates or more than 160 grams of carbohydrates.

Compound inequality combines multiple single inequalities.

The solution and interpretation of the inequality is:

<em />x > 50<em> and </em>x < 150<em>.  Ryan needs to consume more than 50 grams of carbohydrates, but less than 150 grams of carbohydrates.</em>

<em />

We have:

110 < 2x + 10 and 2x + 10< 310

Solve for x in both inequalities

110 < 2x + 10

110 -10 < 2x

100 < 2x

Divide both sides by 2

50 < x

Rewrite as:

x > 50

Also, we have:

2x + 10< 310

2x< 310 - 10

2x< 300

Divide by 2

x < 150

So, the solutions to the inequalities are:

x > 50 and x < 150

This means that Ryan needs to consume more than 50 but less than 150 grams of carbohydrates.

Hence, (a) is correct

Solve for q. √3q + 2 = √5
34kurt

Answer:

q = 0.0186

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for q, we initially place everything with the term q to one side of the equality, and everything without the term q to the other side of the equality.

So

\sqrt{3q} + 2 = \sqrt{5}

\sqrt{3q} = \sqrt{5} - 2

We find the square of both sides of the equation. So

(\sqrt{3q})^{2} = (\sqrt{5} - 2)^{2}

3q = 0.0557

q = \frac{0.0557}{3}

q = 0.0186

What are the slope and y-intercept for the graph of y – 3x = -1?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Slope (m) = 3, y-intercept (b) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write the equation in y = mx + b.

To do this, add 3x to both sides.

y = 3x - 1 is your result.

Now, we have everything we need to do determine our slope and y-intercept in just this equation alone.

Remember, m = slope and b = y-intercept.

In this equation:

m = 3

b = -1

So your slope is 3, and your y-intercept is -1

How can knowing the gcf and lcm help you when you add subtract and multiply fractions?
Maksim231197 [3]
<span>In order to add and subtract fractions, we must be able to find a <u>common denominator</u>.
The LCD, or least common denominator, is the LCM of the denominators. Once we've added, subtracted or multiplied fractions, we often have to simplify the fraction.
In order to do this, we divide the numerator and denominator by their GCF. This means we must be able to find the LCM and GCF in order to work with fractions.</span>
