Solve for x in the following inequality: 3(-2x - 4) > 18

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x < -5

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ( -2x - 4 ) > 18

→ Expand the brackets

-6x - 12 > 18

→ Add 12 to both sides

-6x > 30

→ Divide both sides by -6

x < -5

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf x< -5}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to solve the following inequality for x.

[tex]3(-2x-4) > 18[/tex]

Solve for x by isolating it and performing the inverse operations.

3 is being multiplied by (-2x-4). The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the inequality by 3.

[tex]\frac {3(-2x-4)}{3} > \frac{18}{3}[/tex]

[tex](-2x-4) > \frac{18}{3}[/tex]

[tex]-2x-4 > 6[/tex]

4 is being subtracted from -2x. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition. Add 4 to both sides of the inequality.

[tex]-2x-4+4 > 6+4 \\[/tex]

[tex]-2x > 10[/tex]

x is being multiplied by -2. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by -2.

[tex]\frac {-2x}{-2} > \frac {10}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]x> \frac {10}{-2}[/tex]

Since we divided by a negative number, the inequality sign must be flipped.

[tex]x< \frac{10}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]x < -5[/tex]

Suppose the average player in the NBA is 78 inches tall with
a standard deviation of 2.7 inches, while the average player 10 points
in the WNBA is 69 inches tall, with a standard deviation of 3.2 inches. Who is
relatively taller based on their comparison to their profession, Lebron James
(NBA) at 81 inches or Candace Parker (WNBA) at 76 inches?
A. O LeBron is relatively taller because he has a larger Z-score.
B. O LeBron is relatively taller because he has a smaller z-score.
a
c. O Candace is relatively taller because she has a larger Z-score.
D. O Candace is relatively taller because she has a smaller Z-score.

Answers

Using z-scores, it is found that the correct option is:

c. Candace is relatively taller because she has a larger Z-score.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

For the z-score of Lebron's height, we have that: [tex]X = 81, \mu = 78, \sigma = 2.7[/tex], hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{81 - 78}{2.7}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.11[/tex]

For the z-score of Candace's height, we have that: [tex]X = 76, \mu = 69, \sigma = 3.2[/tex], hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{76 - 69}{3.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.19[/tex]

Due to the higher z-score, Candace is relatively taller, hence option c is correct.

The value of a newly purchased computer will decrease over time. The value of the computer can be modeled by the following function:

f(t)=200+1,200(0.73)2t,

where t is measured in years since the computer was purchased.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the explanation of how the function models the computer's value over time.

Answers

Answer:

$14000200

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Substitute 0 for t and evaluate the expression. Recognize that any value to the zero power is 1.

  f(0) = 200 +1200(0.73^(2·0)) = 200 +1200·1

  f(0) = 1400

When t=0, the value of the computer is 1400 dollars.

__

b)

The exponential expression 1200(0.73^(2t)) has a horizontal asymptote of 0. It gets closer and closer to 0.

__

c)

The exponential term gets closer to 0, so the function value gets closer to ...

  f(∞) ≈ 200 +0 ≈ 200

f(t) gets closer and closer to 200.

Answer:

1) 1,400

2) 0

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic charged $75 per hour, and the second mechanic charged $45 per hour. The mechanics worked for a
combined total of 25 hours, and together they charged a total of $1425. How long did each mechanic work?

Answers

Answer:

First mechanic 10 hours, Second is 15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 25, so y = 25 - x

75x + 45y = 1425

Substitute in the first equation

75x + 45(25 - x) = 1425

75x + 1125 - 45x = 1425

30x = 300

x = 10

Therefore, y = 15

Use angle sum property (the 3 angles in a triangle sum up to 180°).

2x + x + 54 = 180

3x + 54 = 180

3x = 180 - 54

3x = 126

x = 126/3

x = 42

_____

Hope it helps ⚜

Answer:-

x = 42

Explanation:-

We know that,

Angles of a triangle adds to 180°

So,

=> 2x + x + 54 = 180

=> 3x = 180 – 54

=> 3x = 126

=> x = 126/3

=> x = 42

(x = 42° ; 2x = 84°)

A bag contains 6 red tiles and 15 yellow tiles. Lilia removes 2 red tiles. How many
yellow tiles should she remove so that the ratio of red tiles to yellow tiles in the
bag stays equivalent to 6:15? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

I would remove 5 yellow tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the beginning ratio was 6:15, I would start by finding the ratio of 1 red tile to ? yellow tiles. By multiplying 1 by 15, giving you 15, and dividing 15 by 6, I would find out that 1 red tile is equal to 2.5 yellow tiles. I would then set up an equation so there is 1/2.5 = 4/?, the 4 being the remaining red tiles after removing 2. I would then find the yellow tiles by multiplying whatever number the 1st numerator can be multiplied by to equal the 2nd numerator. Basically, I know that 1 multiplied by 4 is equal to 4, so I would multiply 2.5 by 4, which is equal to 10. Now that I know 4 red tiles is equal to 10 yellow tiles, I would remove 5 tiles to keep the ratio equivalent to 6:15

Step-by-step explanation:

So in this problem, we have to find the hypotenuse first, since sine is opposite over hypotenuse.

We can do this using the pythagorean theorem (you can search it if you don't know). Or, we can just remember this as one of our pythagorean triplets (9,40,41). The last side will be 41.
