Answer:
x>−7
Step-by-step explanation:
left side:
-8(x-3)+5x
distribute -8 into (x-3)
-8x+24+5x
combine like terms
-3x+24
right side:
9(x+12)
distribute 9 into (x+12)
9x+108
-3x+24<9x+108
Subtract 24 on both sides
-3x< 9x+108-24
combine like terms
-3x<9x+84
Subtract 9x on both sides
-3x-9x<+84
combine like terms again
-12x<84
Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)
(-12x)(-1)>84(-1)
12x>-84
divide both sides with 12
x>−7

Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
7a-17 = 4a +1 ; Subtract 4a from both sides
3a - 17 = 1 ; Add 17 to both sides
3a = 18 ; Divide both sides by 3
a = 6

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to set up a system of equations. Let x represent the larger number and y represent the smaller number.
x + y = 17
x - y = 7
We can solve this system by adding them together. The y cancels out because y + (-y) = 0. After that, we solve for x
2x = 24
x = 12 (Divide both sides by 2)
Now that we know the value of x, we can substitute it into one of our original equations to solve for y.
12 + y = 17
y = 5 (Subtract 12 from both sides)
So, the smaller number is 5.
The scale factor can change how big or small a figure is, though it will still be similar. For example, a triangle with two sides measuring 3 & 3 (isosceles) are scaled in a factor of 6 (becoming larger).
3 x 6 = 18
The new triangle will have the sides measuring 18. Even though the triangles are not congruent, they are similar.
