Add the numbers: 3+17 = 20

-x + 5 < -1/20

Apply the fraction rule: -a/b = - a/b

-x + 5 < - 1/20

Subtract 5 from both sides

-x + 5 - 5 < 1/20 - 5

Simplify

-x< - 101/20

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)

(-x) (-1) > (-101/20) (-1)

x> 101/20 is the final answer

120,000 people.
110,000 - 100,000 = 10,000
110,000 + 10,000 = 120,000 peoples.

Eliminate the parameter,t, in the parametric equation, x=6cos t, and y =3 sin t

german

X = 6 cos(t)
y = 3 sin(t)

we can rewrite these equations as:

$\frac{x}{6}=cost(t) \\ \\ \frac{y}{3} =sin(t)$

Taking squares of both equations we get:

$( \frac{x}{6})^{2}=sin^{2} (t) \\ \\ 
( \frac{y}{3})^{2}=cos^{2}(t)$

Adding both the equations, we get:

$\frac{ x^{2} }{36}+ \frac{ x^{2} }{9}=sin^{2}(t)+cos^{2}(t) \\ \\ 
 \frac{ x^{2} }{36}+ \frac{ x^{2} }{9}=1$

9 pencils cost $7.74.<br> Which equation would help determine the cost of 6<br> pencils?

eduard

The answer is A. If 9 pencils cost $7.74, we have to divide the total cost ($7.74) by the number of pencils (9) to obtain the price of 1 pencil. Now that we have the price of 1 pencil, to obtain the cost of 6 of them we simply multiply the result by six.

Which equation can be used to find the value of b if side a measures 8.7 cm? 8.7 + b = 54.6 17.4 + b = 54.6 26.1 + b = 54.6 34.8

Gnom [1K]

The correct equation is 8.7 + b = 54.6
because it is given that measure of side a is 8.7cm, in all other equations the values of a is different.
from the first equation we can find the value of b, that is
b = 54.6 - 8.7 = 45.9
so, value of b is 45.9cm
