What is the effect of multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number? Explain and give an example.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It changes the direction of the inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

If a < b, subtract (a + b) from both sides. Then a - (a + b) < b - (a + b), so -b < -a.

Javier walks up to a tank of water that can hold up to 10 gallons. When it is active, a drain empties water from the tank at a constant rate. When Javier first sees the tank, it contains 7 gallons of water. Three minutes later, the tank contains 5 gallons of water.
At what rate is the amount of water in the tank changing? Use a signed number, and include the unit of measurement in your answer.

How many more minutes will it take for the tank to drain completely? Explain or show your reasoning.

How many minutes before Javier arrived was the water tank completely full? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

1)  Gallons per minute change is -2/3 gallons per minute  since it decreases by 2 gallons in 3 minutes

2)  we have 5 gallons and lose 2/3 gallons per minute

(2/3 gal/minute)(x minutes) = 5 gallons

x = 5(3/2) = 15/2 = 7.5 minutes to drain the other 5 gallons

3)  There were 10 gallons when the tank is full

    That is 3 gallons more than the 7 gals there when Jada arrived.

    (2/3)(x) = 3

    x = 3(3/2) = 9/2 = 4 1/2 minutes

The tank was full 4 1/2 minutes before Jada arrived

Sarah factored x2−10x+21
and found the answer to be(x−7)(x−3)
. Is she correct?

Answers

Answer:

(x-3) (x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes she is correct because

Break the expressions into groups

= (x^2-3x)+(-7x+21)

Factor out x from x^2 - 3: x (x - 3)

Factor out -7 from -7 + 21: -7 (x - 3)

= x(x-3)-7(x-3)

Factor out common terms x - 3

Answer: = (x-3)(x-7)

No the correct answer is -8x+21 to find this you got to use the commutative property to recorder the terms x2-10x+21 so you will want to flip x and 2 so now it will be 2x-10x+21 and then collect like terms 2x-10x+21 so forget about the +21 and - the 2x-10x and you will get -8x and then and back the + 21 and you get -8x + 21 and that’s your answer

Nine boys share 4 pizzas equally. What fraction of a pizza does each boy get?

I have specific answers that I have to choose from but I don't know what order to put 9 and 4 in. What order do I put them in for the equation?

Answers

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 9 boys share 4 pizzas, which is less than the count of the people eating, it cannot be a number above 1. So this rules out 36 and 9/4. Since 4 is what they are eating, that would be the numerator. So, the number of people is the denominator, so the answer is 4/9.

Answer:

9 boys share pizzas equally. a fraction of this statement does boy get so that. for that pizza I eat 4/9 of pizza therfore 4/9 is the answer

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles must have the exact same angles

All angles must add to a total of 180° so to find x you can do 85°+64°=149° this means that 149°+x°=180° to find that you can do 180°-149° which equals 31°.

Then you do the same for the second triangle

1. 26°+85°=111°

2. 180°-111°=69°

because 69 and 31 aren't the same number these triangles aren't similar

similar triangles must have all the same angle amounts.

No, they aren’t the same shape so that’s a reason for why they aren’t similar.
