When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you need to _____ the inequality symbol.

A. flip
B. eliminate
C. raise
D. multiply

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is option;

A. Flip

Step-by-step explanation:

When both sides of an inequality is divided by a negative number, it changes the sign of both numbers while their magnitude remain the same;

Therefore, if the right hand side of the inequality is lesser than the left hand side, when the signs of the left and right hand sides of the inequality changes after a division , by a negative number, we have;

The smaller right hand side of the inequality will then have a lesser negative magnitude than the left hand side of the inequality with a higher negative value and the left hand side (with the higher negative value) becomes lesser than the right and therefore, the symbol (sign) of the inequality is flipped

Therefore, when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you need to flip the inequality symbol.

What does the 3 on 4 represents?

First, we plot the dot plot.

See attachment for plot

The dots represent the number of student

So 3 dots on 4 means that:

[tex]Students \to 3[/tex]

[tex]Pairs \to 4[/tex]

This implies that there are 3 students have exactly 4 pairs

Answer:

D) There are exactly 3 students with 4 pairs of shoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It says number of pairs on the bottom which means how many and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are the pairs of shoes.

At the top it says Students' pairs of shoes which is the dots and that means how many students have that amount.

pls help asap,,

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We will first look at the end behavior of the graph

Is it down then up which means that the degree is 3 and the coeficcent is positive

this leaves B or C

We then know that the x intercepts are (-2,0) (1,0) (3,0)

The easiest way to proceed from here is just plugging in numbers into our euqation and if the end result is 0 then we got it!

looking at the B we have

-2³-2*-2²-5(-2)+6

this equals 0 which means this is our answer (this elimates C because the only difference between the two equations is the sign on the 5x)

Answers

Answer:

92 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

3x/4-1=x/2+7 side of square are equal

3x/4-x/2=7+1

(3x-2x)/4=8

x=8×4=32

length =3×32/4 -1=24-1=23

now

perimeter=4×length=4×23=92 units

Answer: The perimeter of the square is 92 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

All four sides of a square are equal. Set the given values 3/4x - 1 and 1/2x + 7 equal to one another. It should like this: 3/4x - 1 = 1/2x+7. The next step is solving for x. We get x = 32 as our answer. See the image of the work below if you are confused. :)  Next, plug in this answer to the original equations: 3/4x-1 and 1/2x+7.

3/4(32) - 1 = 23

1/2(32) + 7 = 23

After basic substitution, we will conclude that each side of the square is 23 units long. To find perimeter use the equation 4s (let s represent sides). 4(23) = 92 units. Hope this was helpful!

Harvey has $390 in a savings account that earns 6% simple interest each year. How much interest will Harvey earn in 2 years, assuming she does not add or take out any money? How much total money is in the account at the end of two years?

Answers

Answer:

She will earn $46.8 of interest. $436.8 is in her account total after the two years

Step-by-step explanation:

You would find out how much 6% of $390 is which would be $23.4 and then you would find out how much it would be after two years so you would $23.4 times two which is $46.8 so the interest would be $46.8. Then you would add the interest to the $390 that was put into the savings so you would do $390 + $46.8 = $436.8

Suppose you are going to draw two cards from a standard deck. What is the probability that the first card is an even card and the second card is Queen? 16/663 5/169 06/13 20/663 ​

Answers

Answer:

I would say 16/663 but I still have a suspicion it may be 20/663

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

20/633

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of drawing an even card is the total number of even cards divided by the total number of cards. There are 5 even values (2,4,6,8,10) and 4 of each in the deck. That means there are 20 even cards in a deck of 52 cards. The probability is 20/52.

Next, the probability of drawing a Queen is calculated, but now there are only 51 cards total because you removed the first card. There are 4 Queens in a deck of 51 cards. The probability is 4/51.

Therefore, the probability of these two events is the product of the probability of each: (20/52)(4/51) = 20/663

Answers

2x+10y I thinks that’s the answer mb

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y=8 ---> y= 8-2x

substitute y=8-2x into x+2y=4

x + 2(8 - 2x) = 4

x + 16 - 4x = 4

-3x = -12

x = -12/-3

x = 4

substitute x=y into y=8-2x

y = 8 - 2(4)

y = 8 - 8

y = 0

therefore,

x+y= 4+0

y = 11

y = 2 (2) + 11

y = 15

Answer for part a: If a customer wants to rent shoes and play two games, they'll pay more with the new price plan. With the current price plan, they'll pay 11 dollars, but with the new price plan, they'll pay 15 dollars.

b) Work...

y = 4 (7) + 3

y = 2 (7) + 11

Answer for part b: If the customer wants to play 7 games, including the shoes, they would pay less using the new plan. If the shes were not included, the new price will still be less. With the shoes, 7 games, with the original plan, is 31 dollars but 25 dollars with the new plan. If they didn't want to rent shoes, they would pay 28 dollars with the original plan but only 14 dollars with the new plan. All in all, they spend less on the new plan anyways.

Answer:

72 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 1 is one of the triangle's exterior angles. The exterior angle theorem states that the measure of a triangle's exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles. Therefore, m<1 is equal to the sum of 35 and 37:
