Explain how solving $2x<-8$ is different from solving $-2x<8$ .

Answer:

When we divide by a negative value, the sign for the inequality changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x < -8, to solve we would divide by 2 and receive x < -4. However, in solving -2x < 8, we would divide by negative 2, which would result in x > -4. Clearly, these sequences provide opposite answers and that is a rule to inequalities, that when dividing by a negative number, we must flip the less than/greater than sign.

1) PEMDAS: 12 * 5 + 6 / 6

12 * 5 = 60

60 + 6 / 6

6 / 6 = 1

60 + 1 = 61

61 is the final answer.

2) Absolute Value: |-2 - 4| = -6 HOWEVER, because it is in the absolute value signs, it becomes 6. 6 - 4 = 2

2 in the final answer.

3) 4 + 4 + 2 = 10 Because they are all negatives, we add back the negative sign.

-10 is the final answer.

4) 15x + 1 = 26

Subtract 1 from each side.

15x = 25.

25/15 = 1.6...

x = 1.6...

5) 2x -4 + 3x = - 1

2x + 3x = 5x

5x - 4 = -1

Add 4 to each side

5x = 3

3/5 = 0.6

x = 0.6

6) x-2/3 = x+4/5

I don't remember the steps, but the answer is x = 11

7) Finding the relationship between x:4 and 5:20

20/5 = 4

x = 1

The smaller rectangle has a reduction of 5 times.

8) Mean is found by adding all the number, then dividing by the amount added.

18 + 27 + 15 + 24 + 18 + 26 + 19 + 24 = 171

171/8 = 21.375

Mean = 21.375

Median is found by putting the numbers in increasing order, then finding the middle number, 15, 18, 18, 19, 24, 24, 26, 27. 24 + 19 = 43. 43/2 = 21.5

Median = 21.5

9) Circumference of a circle = 2(pi)(r)

Circumference = 30πin (thats the pi symbol)

If you use the typical pi fill-in (3.14) the its 2 * 3.14 * r then it would = 94.5in.

10) Combing Like Terms: 5x + 7y - 8y^2 + 2x - y

5x + 2x = 7x

7x + 7y - 8y^2 - y

-y + 7y = 6y

Answer: -8y^2 + 7x + 6y
