Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9 - x ≤17

At some point you are going to have to turn the equation around. This would not normally be your first step, but this time it is better to start with it.

We won't do it directly. The best way to do it is to add x to both sides before you do anything else. This is not the usual way to solve these equations, but it's a good time to learn.

Inequality Rule: you must always solve for x. If it is -x then you are going to have to make an adjustment to get the x to be positive.

9 - x ≤ 17                        Add x to both sides

9 - x+x ≤ 17 + x              Combine

9 ≤ 17 + x                      Subtract 17 from both sides.

9 - 17 ≤ 17 - 17 + x

8 ≤ x

Notice that you have effectively changed the ≤ sign around, not because you have, but because the x reads differently now. It started out 9 - x ≤ 17 and when you finish solving it you get 8 is less than or equal to x. Entirely different.

A helicopter is hovering 110 feet in the air over a landing pad. If a man sees the helecopter at an angle of elevation of 29°, w
Pavel [41]
See the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

tan 29°=AC/CB--------> CB=AC/tan 29°
AC=110 ft 
CB--------> <span>how far the man is from the helicopter landing pad
</span>so
CB=AC/tan 29°----------> CB=110/ tan 29°----------> CB=198.45 ft

the answer is
the man is  198.45 ft  from the helicopter landing pad

lbvjy [14]
2*3 = 6 teaspoons per day per child
6*5 = 30 teaspoons 
30*3 = 90 teaspoons 
You need 90 teaspoons

1 teaspoon = 4.9289 mL
90*4.9289 = 443.6010 mL
443.6010 / 150 = 2.9573 bottles

You need at least 3 bottles

X2 + 8x + 19 = 0 What is the equivilent that results from completing the square?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(x+4)^2+3=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Standard form is what this equation is in

Standard form is this: ax^2+bx+c

So order to complete the square, you need to take the b term out of the equation, divide it by two, and then square it

In this case, the b term is 8

We need to divide 8 by 2 ---> 4

Then square 4 ---> 16

So now you should add 16 to both sides

x^2+8x+16+19=16

Now you can simplify the LHS

(x+4)^2 +19=16

Now you subtract 16 from both sides

(x+4)^2+3=0

So this is as far as you can go since you cannot take the square root of a negative number
