First, you must distribute 2(3x-1).
To do that, you will multiply 2•3x, and 2•-1 because you are taking the number outside of the parentheses and multiplying (distributing) it to all the numbers inside
After distributing, the left side of your inequality will be 6x-2
Now you have
To find the value of x, you must subtract an x value from both sides of the equation, as well as a constant from each side.
so you have
And that will make the equation
Now, divide the variable side, ***BUT, because you are dividing by a negative number in an inequality, the inequality will switch sides.
Then, the value of x is greater than or equal to 2
Answer:
--- y intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x = weeks; y = copies
The right parameters are:
After 1 week, 5840 copies were downloaded
After 5 weeks, 13090 copies were downloaded
So, the (x,y) forms are:
Next, we calculate the slope (m) using:
The equation is then calculated using:
To calculate the y intercept, substitute 0 for x
The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:
60 pounds of onion rings and 60 hamburgers.
Explanation:
Jack serves a half pound of onion rings with every burger. He serves 120 bacon cheeseburgers. To find the number of pounds of onion rings, we multiply 1/2 pound by 120 burgers:
1/2(120) = 1/2(120/1) = (1*120)/(2*1) = 120/2 = 60 pounds of onion rings.
There were 8 hamburgers served out of the first 40 orders. If this rate continues, then to find the number of hamburgers out of 300 orders, we multiply 8/40 by 300:
8/40(300) = 8/40(300/1) = (8*300)/(40*1) = 2400/40 = 60
There would be 60 hamburgers.
