Answer:

x>-12

Step-by-step explanation: you have the equation -2x+12 <36

so what do you do first?

you would subtract 36 on both sides like this: -2x+12-36 <-36

then you get -2x < 24

divide both sides by -2 like this : -2/-2x<24/-2

and since your dividing by -2 on both sides

the sign would be less then sign instend of a greater then

so the answer is x>-12

Hope it helped (..

Answer: x > -12

-2x + 12 < 36
Subtract 12 from both sides
-2x < 24
Divide both sides by -2
Because you divided by a negative number, flip the sign
x > -12

Check
Choose a value for x
-11 > -12
-2(-11) + 12 < 36
22 + 12
34 < 36; is True

Solve for p 16 - 3p = 2/3p + 5

Nookie1986 [14]

P = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 3

48-9p=2p+15

Add 9p to both sides

48=2p+15+9p48=2p+15+9p

Simplify 2p+15+9p2p+15+9p to 11p+15

48=11p+15

Subtract 15 from both sides

48−15=11p

Simplify 48-15 to 33

33=11p

Divide both sides by 11

\frac{33}11=p11/33=p

Simplify 11/33 to 3

3=p

Switch sides

p=3

What is −5x+4y=3 x=2y−15

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

x=9

y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

you know what the value of x is in terms of the second equation

so put that value into the first equation

-5(2y-15) + 4y = 3

-10y + 75 + 4y = 3

-6y + 75 = 3

-6y = -72

y = 12 (now we have the actual value of y, just substitute this into any of the first two original functions)

x = 2(12) - 15

x = 24 - 15

x = 9

The data for numbers of times per week 20 students at Stackamole High eat vegetables are shown below:

Step2247 [10]

The dot plot uses dots to for data representation.

The dot plot is right skewed
There is an outlier, 9.
The best measure of center is median

(a) The description

From the dot plot (see attachment), we have the following observations,

There are more data at the left-hand side, than the right-hand side of the dot plot.
There is only one data element at the right-hand side

This means that the dot plot is right skewed

(b) Outlier

From the dot plot, we can see that 9 is relatively far from the other data elements.

This means that 9 is outlier

(c) Measure of center

In (b), we established that the dot plot has an outlier.

When there is an outlier, the best measure of center to use is the median.

Hence, the median will be used as the measure.
