X-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(x+3)

First, clear out the fraction.  Mult. both sides of this inequality by 2(x+3):

x-2 greater than or equal to  6(2)(x+3) 

x-2 greater than or equal to  12x + 36 becomes

-38 greater than or equal to 11x

Thus, -38/11 is greater than or equal to x, or

x is smaller than or equal to -38/11

check:  try x = -44/11 = -4 (this is smaller than -38/11)

Substitute -4 into the original inequality:

x-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(x+3)

becomes

-4-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(-4+3)

or 

-6
---- = 3.  Is this greater than or equal to 6?  No.
-2

So, choose a different test value for x:  Try one that's on the other side of 
-38/11.  I'll try 0.

Then 

0-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(0+3)

-2
---- = -1/3.  Unfortunately, this is not greater than or equal to 6.
6

Thus, this tentative solution fails.


Trying again:

x-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2x + 6

Multiply both sides by 2x+6:  x-2 is greater than or equal to 6(2x+6)

Then x-2 is greater than or equal to 12x + 36

Add 2 to both sides:  x is gr. than or = to 12x + 38

Subtr. 38 from both sides:   -38 + x is gr than or equal to 12x, or

-38 is gr than or = to 11x, and -38/11 is gr than or = to x (same as before).

Again, -4 proves NOT to be a solution.  Thus, the interval (-infinity, -38/11) is not part of the solution set.

Trying x = 2,

2-2
------------- comes out to 0, which is NOT greater than or equal to 6.
2(2) + 6

Thus, (-38/11, infinity) is not a solution set either.

NO SOLUTION!

D’Quan’s grandmother made a quilt for his bed. The quilt is
damaskus [11]
One Square Meter= 10.764 Square Feet.
The total area of the quilt in meters is 4.465m^{2}
As you're looking for square feet, you've then got to multiply this by 10.764
4.465*10.764= 48.06086 square feet.
Rounded, this is 48.06 square feet.
Hope this helps :)

Change each of the following angles in degrees to angles in radians
grin007 [14]

Answer:

d: 2.6179, e: 4.1887, f: 5.2359 all in rad

Step-by-step explanation:

(d): 150°degrees

150° × π / 180°

= 0.83333333333π rad

= 2.6179 rad

(e):240°degrees

240° × π / 180°

= 1.3333333333π rad

= 4.1887 rad

(f): 300°degrees

300° × π / 180°

= 1.6666666667π rad

= 5.2359 rad

If all my stuff is correct please give me an 5/5 and a thanks. :)
