What is the solution to this inequality?

Mathematics
2 answers:
Sedbober [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Option D.

<h3>Why is this the case, though?</h3>

These equations prove it true.

-4 * 2 - 8 = -16 > -20

-4 * 1 - 8 = -12 > -20

The only reason these two equations are correct, is because on the number line it shows: Any negative number further to the right than the last negative number is greater than that number.

Answer:

  • \boxed{\sf{D. \quad x < 3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is necessary to isolate the term of x from one side of an inequality to find its solution.

<h3>-4x-8>-20</h3>

<u>First, add by 8 from both sides.</u>

\sf{-4x-8+8 > -20+8}

<u>Solve.</u>

-20+8=-12

<u>Rewrite the problem down.</u>

\sf{-4x > -12}

<u>Multiply by -1 from both sides.</u>

(-4x)(-1)<(-12)(-1)

<u>Solve.</u>

<u>Multiply the numbers from left to right.</u>

(-12)(-1)=12

4x<12

<u>Divide by 4 from both sides.</u>

4x/4<12/4

<u>Solve.</u>


<u>Divide the numbers from left to right.</u>

12/4=3

<u>x<3</u>

  • <u>Therefore, the correct answer is D. x<3 (last option).</u>

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Y=2x +1 x=3. how do I find the Y in each equation
fiasKO [112]
Since we already have X, I'm guessing all the question asks you to do is plug it in and solve it to get a Y= equation

If I'm right, then the process is

Y=2(3)+1 (putting 3 in place of x)

Y=6+1

Y=7

Find the area of the triangle
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The area of the triangle WYX  = \frac{35}{2} = 17\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle WYX  is \frac{1}{2}*b*h

We need to find base (b) and height (h)

By counting from the drawing, the base which is horizontal is 7 and the height which is vertical is 5

The area of the triangle WYX  is \frac{1}{2}*b*h

The area of the triangle WYX  = \frac{1}{2}*7*5 = \frac{35}{2} = 17\frac{1}{2}
