Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: To determine whether x = 2 is a

solution to the inequality, substitute a 2 in for <em>x</em>.

No, 2 is not a solution to the inequality.

5. A monument casts a 78 ft. shadow at the same time that a vertical yardstick casts a 4.5 ft. shadow. How high is the monument?

Hello,

Using Thalès 's theorem:

If you don't know what is the Thalès's theorem,

Answer: 3 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be set up according to slope form: y=mx+b where x represents cost per round.

$70 = $7.51x + $47.47

Subtract 47.47 to both sides: $22.53 = $7.51x

Divide both sides by 7.51: 3 = x
