I think it would be D. because when you switch the number to the other side you need to switch it from positive/negative in this case it would change to a positive because it's negative and you would keep the sign the way as it is. Hope I helped! :)

3 - 2a > 7
We need to solve for a

First, let's subtract 3 on both sides to have the variables on a side and the numbers on another side:
3 - 2a > 7
3 - 2a - 3 > 7 - 3
- 2a > 4

Let's divide both sides by -2 to have a on side and its value on the other side:
-2a > 4
(-2a)/(-2) > (4/-2)
a < -2 (In a case of an inequality, we change the sign when we divide by a negative number to its opposite).

So 3 - 2a > 7 when a < -2 (answer c)

Hope this helps! :D

A runner completed a 26.2-mile marathon in 210 minutes. a. Estimate the unit rate, in miles per minute. Round your answer to the

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Unit rate by which the runner completed the marathon is 0.13 miles per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

A runner competed a marathon of 26.2 miles in 210 minutes.

we can get unit rate by unitary method.

∵ In 210 minutes a runner completes the distance = 26.2 miles

∴ In 1 minute runner will complete the distance = $\frac{26.2}{210}$

= 0.125 miles per minute

≈ 0.13 miles per minute

Therefore, unit rate by which the runner completed the marathon is 0.13 miles per minute.

The point V(4, –1) is rotated 90° clockwise around the origin. What are the coordinates of its image V’?

Verizon [17]

Answer:

(-1,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is a rotation that turns both the x and y values the two swap places. The x value become negative because before it was in quadrant 4 where there was still a positive chance but rotating the point clockwise puts it into the third quadrant where there are only negatives.

A flying carpet flies 2.4 miles with the wind in the same amount of time it flies 1.4 miles against the wind. The wind speed is

Ainat [17]

Answer:

$15.2~mph$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time flown by the flying carpet be $t$ . Then, we have that $(2.4)/t=(1.4)/t+2*4$ .

We multiply both sides of the equation by $t$ to get $2.4=1.4+8t$ .

We subtract $1.4$ from both sides to get $1=8t$ .

We divide both sides of the equation by $t=1/8$ .

We know that the speed of the flying carpet in still wind is the average of the rates of the speed of the flying carpet with the wind and against the wind.

The speed with wind is $(2.4)/(1/8)=19.2$ mph.
