Answer:
x ≥ -7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 2x ≥ -4
Subtract 3 from each side
3-3 + 2x ≥ -4-3
2x ≥ -7
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 ≥ -7/2
x ≥ -7/2

Answer:
- 3n+6 (n = smallest)
- 3n (n = middle)
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual method for doing this is to let n represent the smallest one. Then the three integers are ...
n, n+2, and n+4
and their sum is ...
(n) +(n+2) +(n+4) = 3n+6 . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = smallest)
_____
Personally, for consecutive number problems, I prefer to let the variable represent the average value. If n is the average value of 3 consecutive odd integers, is is the middle integer. Of course, the sum will be 3 times the average:
(n-2) +(n) +(n+2) = 3n . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = middle one)
Answer: how many hours is she working
Step-by-step explanation:
When
|a|=b
assume
a=b and -a=b
so
4+|7-m|=5
minus 4 from both sides
|7-m|=1
assume
7-m=1 and
-(7-m)=1
7-m=1
minus 7 both sidees
-m=-6
times -1 both sides
m=6
-(7-m)=1
distribute
-7+m=1
add 7 to both sides
m=8
m=6 and 8
So if they all add 4 hours to their time then they have:
Jeff 9
Mark 14
Karen 9
Costas 13
Brett 11
Nikki 9
Jack 11
so now to find the mean you add all the numbers together to get 76 and then you divide it by the number of people (7 people) so 76 divided by 7 equals 10.8571429 and that's the mean.
Now to find the median you put all the numbers in order from least to greatest: 9;9;9;11;11;13;14 and you take the number in the middle but since both 11 and 11 are in the middle you take the mean of them and the mean of them is 11 so the median of the numbers is 11
now to find the range you take the largest number (14) and you subtract the smallest number (9) so 14 - 9 is 5 so 5 is the range
and last the mode is the number that is repeated most out of all the numbers so the mode would be 9
