Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf x< -5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to solve the following inequality for x.

3(-2x-4) > 18

Solve for x by isolating it and performing the inverse operations.

3 is being multiplied by (-2x-4). The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the inequality by 3.

\frac {3(-2x-4)}{3} > \frac{18}{3}

(-2x-4) > \frac{18}{3}

-2x-4 > 6

4 is being subtracted from -2x. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition. Add 4 to both sides of the inequality.

-2x-4+4 > 6+4 \\

-2x > 10

x is being multiplied by -2. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by -2.

\frac {-2x}{-2} > \frac {10}{-2}

x> \frac {10}{-2}

Since we divided by a negative number, the inequality sign must be flipped.

x< \frac{10}{-2}

x < -5

Answer:

x < -5

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ( -2x - 4 ) > 18

→ Expand the brackets

-6x - 12 > 18

→ Add 12 to both sides

-6x > 30

→ Divide both sides by -6

x < -5

With each gallon you need 11 gallons with 2 parts red 9 parts yellow and since 11x4= 44 you need to do this 4 times
4x2(red)= 8
4x9(yellow)=36
36+8=44
basically 8 gallons of red
i hope this made sense

A florist sold 14 flower bouquets yesterday, including 7 lily bouquets. Based on past data, how many of the next 20 bouquets sol
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

From past data:

Fraction of lily sold :

Total flowers / number of lily

Total flowers = 14

Number of lily = 7

Fraction of lily = 14 /7 = 1/2

Going by these ;

Expected number of lilies in the next 20 bouquets sold :

Fraction of lily * number of flower in bouquet

1/2 * 20

= 10 lilies

The graph shows the functions f(x), p(x), and g(x): Graph of function g of x is y is equal to 1 plus the quantity 1.5 raised to
satela [25.4K]
Part A:

Given that the <span>straight line p(x) joins the ordered pairs (0, 2) and (1, -5), thus the equation of the line joining ordered pairs (0, 2) and (1, -5) is given by

\frac{y-2}{x} = \frac{-5-2}{1} =-7 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y-2=-7x \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=-7x+2

Thus, p(x) = -7x + 2

</span>Given that the <span>straight line f(x) joins the ordered pairs (4, 1) and (2, -3), thus the equation of the line joining ordered pairs (4, 1) and (2, -3) is given by

\frac{y-1}{x-4} = \frac{-3-1}{2-4} =\frac{-4}{-2}=2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y-1=2(x-4)=2x-8 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=2x-7

Thus, f(x) = 2x - 7
</span>
The solution to the pair of equations represented by p(x) and f(x) is given by

p(x) = f(x)
⇒ -7x + 2 = 2x - 7
⇒ -7x - 2x = -7 - 2
⇒ -9x = -9
⇒ x = -9 / -9 = 1

Substituting for x into p(x), we have

p(1) = -7(1) + 2 = -7 + 2 = -5

Therefore, the solution to the pair of equations represented by p(x) and f(x) is  (1, -5)



Part B:

From part A, we have that f(x) = 2x - 7

when x = -8

f(-8) = 2(-8) - 7 = -23

Thus, (-8, -23) is a solution to f(x).

When x = -10

f(-10) = 2(-10) - 7 = -27

Thus, (-10, -27) is a solution to f(x).

Therefore, two solutions of f(x) are (-8, -23) and (-10, -27).



Part C:

From part A, we have that p(x) = -7x + 2, given that g(x) = 1 + 1.5^x

From the graphs of p(x) and g(x), we can see that the two graphs intersected at the point (0, 2).

Therefore, the solution to the equation p(x) = g(x) is (0, 2).
