Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+14<4 or -2(x-8)<-2
-14 -14 -2x+16<-2
5x<-10 -16 -16
÷5 ÷5 -2x<-18
x<-2 ÷-2 ÷-2
x>9 (sign changes because you divide by a negative number)
x<-2 or x>9
Answer:
x = 8
y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Total small box weight = 50x [x being the number of small boxes]
Total large box weight = 80y [y being the number of large boxes]
Total boxes = x+y = 19
Total weight = 1280
<em>Determine x and y.</em>
<u>You know 2 equations. One for weight and another for number of boxes each.</u>
<u>Rewrite second equation:</u>
x+y=19
y=19-x
<u>You have to plug in one into another.</u>
1280 = 50x + 80(19-x)
<u>Solve for x</u>
1280 = 50x + 1520 - 80x
-240 = -30x
x = 8
<u>Solve for y by plugging in x into one of the equations:</u>
8+y = 19
y = 11
Answer:
The result is
Or
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to simplify
We know that 4 goes into 8 twice.
This implies that:
We can convert the result into decimals as follows:
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value is the positive of a number.
Ex: -2 absolute value is 2
So -62 would have an absolute value greater than 50.
