Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

- \frac{1}{2} (x + 3) > x - 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

- (x + 3) > 2x - 6 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by - 1

- x - 3 > 2x - 6 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 3x - 3 > - 6 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 3x > - 3

divide both sides by - 3, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity

x < 1

Answer:

A. x<1

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2 (x+3) > x - 3

(-1/2)x-3/2>x-3

Multiply both sides by 2:

-x-3>2x-6

add both sides by 3:

-x-3+3>2x-6+3

-x>2x-3

minus both sides by 2x

-x-2x>2x-2x-3

-3x>-3

x<1

The graph shows the solution to which system of equations?
Sedaia [141]
So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.

Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)

A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1

So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1

A truck's gas tank holds 50 gallons of gas. if one gallon takes 30 seconds to pump, how many minutes will it take to fill the em
umka2103 [35]
To find how long it will take to fill the tank, you can use the idea that every 30 seconds will get you one gallon closer to being full.

This means to fill 50 gallons, you will need 50 groups of 30 seconds.  

50 x 30 = 1500 seconds

1500/60 = 25 minutes.

It will take 25 minutes.  

You could also think of it as filling 2 gallons every minute.  It would take 25 of these.
