Answer:
x > -15
Step-by-step explanation:
-x / 3 < 5
(-x / 3) * 3 < 5 * 3
-x < 15
x > -15 (Remember to flip the sign when multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number.)
Answer:Maybe ffor the positive numbers you could use like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9. For the negitive number could be like -1,-2,-3,-4,-5. And zero could repersent the middle. Get it or no?
Step-by-step explanation:
#5 is very nicely and correctly done.
#7 says: "No matter what X may be, this function of it is always 9 more than 1/2 of X .".
That's a very powerful statement. Now you know that if X is ever 2, the function will be 1/2(2)+9 which is 10.
If X is ever zero, the function will be 1/2(0)+9 which is 9. If X is ever a cow, the function will be 1/2 of a cow, plus the number 9. Which makes no sense, but that's what the function says.
So, when X is -8, the function is 1/2 of -8, plus 9. Which is 5 ... the 'f' of -8.
Whatever X happens to be at the moment, just write that number in place of X in the function, and it'll show you the function of what X is.
f(a bazillion) = 1/2(a bazillion) + 9 .
f(a-28) = 1/2(a-28) + 9 (but simplify it)
