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

Mathematics
1 answer:
miv72 [106K]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Right Isosceles Triangle ABC has a hypotenuse of length h.
neonofarm [45]
The answer is a. 16x+h

Since a triangle is isosceles, its both legs are the same. So, we have two sides and a hypotenuse (a, a, and h)
A midsegment length (m) of a triangle is a half of a parallel bottom leg of the triangle (a):
a = 2m

The perimeter (P) of the triangle is the sum of its sides:
P = a + a + h

It is given:
m = 4x
Since a = 2m, we have:
a = 2*4x = 8x

Therefore, the perimeter is:
P = a + a + h = 8x + 8x + h = 16x + h
