Answer:

481

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can get there.

1. There are only 13 numbers, so you can write them down and add them up.

25 + 27 + 29 + ... + 47 + 49 = 481

2. You can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence. This one has a starting value of 25, an ending value of 49, and 13 terms.

Sum = ((start) + (end))/2 × (number of terms) = (25 +49)/2×13 = 481

3. You can use a formula for the terms of the series and evaluate the sum.

an = 25 +2(n -1) = 2n +23

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^{13}{(2n+23)}=2\sum\limits_{n=1}^{13}(n)+\sum\limits_{n=1}^{13}{(23)}=2\dfrac{13\cdot 14}{2}+13\cdot 23=481$

Part A:
The first thing you should do is to graph both lines. Notice that one is of positive slope and another of negative slope.
The solution of the inequation system is given by the shaded region. That is, all the points that are in the shaded region satisfy the system of inequations.
Part B:
the point (-2, -2) is NOT included in the solution area (it is not in the shaded region.
Mathematically it is demonstrated by substituting inequalities and seeing that they are not satisfied
inequality 1
-2 <4 (-2) - 2
-2 <-10 (false)
inequality two
-2> = - (5/2) (- 2) - 2
-2> = 3 (false).
