Answer:
w < 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, one is given an algebraic inequality. These types of inequalities can be solved using similar methods that one uses to solve an algebraic expression, in essence, one uses inverse operations. The only major difference between solving algebraic inequalities and algebraic expressions is that when one divides or multiplies by a negative number, one must remember to flip in the inequality sign to maintain the trueness of the equation. In this case, such a rule will not come into play.
7w - 5 < 1 - 3w
Inverse operations,
7w - 5 < 1 - 3w
+3w +3w
10w - 5 < 1
+5 +5
10w < 6
/10 /10
w < 0.6
25x+ the diameter of a rectangle
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording in the problem statement is ...
... "less than 3 years"
... "at least 3. but less than 6 years"
so we expect the inequality symbols to look like ...
... 0 ≤ x < 3
... 3 ≤ x < 6
These match <em>the second piecewise function</em>.
If unrounded the answer would be 607.5 men but if rounded it would be 608 men
Answer:
denominators are zero for x=1
there is no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
We suspect your equation is supposed to be ...
10/(5x -5) +1/5 = 2/(x -1) . . . . . parentheses are required on denominators
The denominators will be zero for x=1.
This version of the equation has no solution. It simplifies to ...
2/(x-1) + 1/5 = 2/(x -1)
1/5 = 0 . . . . . subtract 2/(x-1) from both sides
There is no value of x that will make this equation true.
_____
<em>Alternative interpretation</em>
The way your equation is written, it must be interpreted according to the order of operations to be ...
(10/5)x -5 +1/5 = (2/x) -1 . . . . x=0 makes the denominator zero
2x -3.8 = 2/x
2x^2 -3.8x = 2 . . . . multiply by x
2(x^2 -1.9x +.95^2) = 2 +2(0.95^2)
(x -0.95)^2 = 1.9025
x = 0.95 ± √1.9025 ≈ {-0.4293, 2.3293}
