Hello there!
n - 5 ≤ 5n - 1
Solve for n
Let's start by subtracting 5n from both sides
n - 5 - 5n ≤ 5n - 5n - 1
n - 5 - 5n ≤ -1
We need to transfer -5 on the other side, we can do that by adding 5 on both sides
n - 5 - 5n + 5 ≤ -1 + 5
n - 5n ≤ -4
-4n ≤ -4
Finally divide both sides by -4
-4n/-4 ≤ -4/-4
n ≥ -1 (This is the answer)!
Do you know why I changed the sign?
A lot of students failed to remember that rules, which is:
When you are solving an inequality, if you divide both sides by a negative sign, you MUST change the symbol as well. If it was this <, it will change to this >. Got it? Cool!
I hope the steps are clear to understand. If you have questions, feel free to let me know...
As always, I am here to help!
Okay lets create an eqn from that information
A first int, B second int, C third int, D fourth int.
B = A + 2
C = A + 4
D = A + 6
A is the smallest integer
B + D = 0.5 (A + C)
Now lets substitute
(A + 2) + (A + 6) = 0.5(A + (A + 4))
now lets dist
2a + 8 = 0.5(2a +4)
2a + 8 = a + 2
a + 8 = 2
a = -6
B = -6 +2
B = -4
C = -6 + 4
C = -2
D = -6 + 6
D = 0
Now using B + D = 0.5(A + C)
-4 + 0 = 0.5(-6 + (-2))
-4 = 0.5 (-8)
-4 = -4
Correct
Therefore, First integer is -6, second integer is -4, third integer is -2 and fourth integer is 0
Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
When you put the write the scenario in an equation, it'll look like
(5q+3)(5q-3) for the new width times the new length
Factor these, and you shall get 25q^2+15q-15q-9. Simplify that into
25q^2-9
The last one shows the right transformation.
