Answer:
The solution is .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The inequality given is:
In order to simplify for 'x', we first isolate 'x' on one side.
Adding -4 on both sides, we get:
Now, is an absolute value function which is defined as:
Therefore, the given inequality can be rewritten as:
and
Therefore, the solution is .
I'll do part (a) to get you started.
The angle 'a' pairs up with the 123 degree angle as a corresponding angle pair. Due to the parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore a = 123.
We also see that b = 123 as well since a = b (they are vertical angles).
Notice how angle c is adjacent to the 123 degree angle. These two angles form a straight line, so they must add to 180 degrees.
c+123 = 180
c = 180-123
c = 57
-------------------------
To summarize, we have these three angles
a = 123
b = 123
c = 57
The answer is a (three eights over three fifths= five eights)
