You can divide them up by class, gender, height, age, social circle, etc to form many sets. For example, you could have one set be the set of all boys and the other be the set of all girls.

-6%288n-6%29%2B1%3C37-6n Start with the given inequality.


-48n%2B36%2B1%3C37-6n Distribute.


-48n%2B37%3C37-6n Combine like terms on the left side.


-48n%3C37-6n-37 Subtract 37 from both sides.


-48n%2B6n%3C37-37 Add 6n to both sides.


-42n%3C37-37 Combine like terms on the left side.


-42n%3C0 Combine like terms on the right side.


n%3E%280%29%2F%28-42%29 Divide both sides by -42 to isolate n. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


n%3E0 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is n%3E0

Answer 364214 by jim_thompson5910(28595) About Me  on 2012-01-23 14:50:56 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Looking at the expression 7x%5E2%2B17x%2B6, we can see that the first coefficient is 7, the second coefficient is 17, and the last term is 6.


Now multiply the first coefficient 7 by the last term 6 to get %287%29%286%29=42.


Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to 42 (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient 17?


To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of 42 (the previous product).


Factors of 42:
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
-1,-2,-3,-6,-7,-14,-21,-42


Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.


These factors pair up and multiply to 42.
1*42 = 42
2*21 = 42
3*14 = 42
6*7 = 42
(-1)*(-42) = 42
(-2)*(-21) = 42
(-3)*(-14) = 42
(-6)*(-7) = 42

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient 17:


First NumberSecond NumberSum
1421+42=43
2212+21=23
3143+14=17
676+7=13
-1-42-1+(-42)=-43
-2-21-2+(-21)=-23
-3-14-3+(-14)=-17
-6-7-6+(-7)=-13



From the table, we can see that the two numbers 3 and 14 add to 17 (the middle coefficient).


So the two numbers 3 and 14 both multiply to 42 and add to 17


Now replace the middle term 17x with 3x%2B14x. Remember, 3 and 14 add to 17. So this shows us that 3x%2B14x=17x.


7x%5E2%2Bhighlight%283x%2B14x%29%2B6 Replace the second term 17x with 3x%2B14x.


%287x%5E2%2B3x%29%2B%2814x%2B6%29 Group the terms into two pairs.


x%287x%2B3%29%2B%2814x%2B6%29 Factor out the GCF x from the first group.


x%287x%2B3%29%2B2%287x%2B3%29 Factor out 2 from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis.


%28x%2B2%29%287x%2B3%29 Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term 7x%2B3


===============================================================


Answer:


So 7x%5E2%2B17x%2B6 factors to %28x%2B2%29%287x%2B3%29.


In other words, 7x%5E2%2B17x%2B6=%28x%2B2%29%287x%2B3%29.


Note: you can check the answer by expanding %28x%2B2%29%287x%2B3%29 to get 7x%5E2%2B17x%2B6 or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

If you're solving for m, then...

p=2m%2B8v


p-8v=2m


%28p-8v%29%2F2=m


m=%28p-8v%29%2F2
-------------------------------------------------------

If you're solving for v, then...

p=2m%2B8v


p-2m=8v


%28p-2m%29%2F8=v


v=%28p-2m%29%2F8

The line in red is where you made your mistake

5x + 2x + (x + 20) = 180
7x + (x + 20) = 180
8x + 140 = 180
8x = 40
x = 5

It should be 8x+20=180

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4%284x-2%29=x%2B4 Start with the given equation.


16x-8=x%2B4 Distribute.


16x=x%2B4%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


16x-x=4%2B8 Subtract x from both sides.


15x=4%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.


15x=12 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2812%29%2F%2815%29 Divide both sides by 15 to isolate x.


x=4%2F5 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x=4%2F5

Quadratic_Equations/561072: x^2+12x+4=0
Solve for X

Answer 364142 by jim_thompson5910(28595) About Me  on 2012-01-22 23:44:54 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

x%5E2%2B12x%2B4=0 Start with the given equation.


Notice that the quadratic x%5E2%2B12x%2B4 is in the form of Ax%5E2%2BBx%2BC where A=1, B=12, and C=4


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":


x+=+%28-B+%2B-+sqrt%28+B%5E2-4AC+%29%29%2F%282A%29 Start with the quadratic formula


x+=+%28-%2812%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%2812%29%5E2-4%281%29%284%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Plug in A=1, B=12, and C=4


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+144-4%281%29%284%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Square 12 to get 144.


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+144-16+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Multiply 4%281%29%284%29 to get 16


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+128+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Subtract 16 from 144 to get 128


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+128+%29%29%2F%282%29 Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.


x+=+%28-12+%2B-+8%2Asqrt%282%29%29%2F%282%29 Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying square roots, check out this solver)


x+=+%28-12%29%2F%282%29+%2B-+%288%2Asqrt%282%29%29%2F%282%29 Break up the fraction.


x+=+-6+%2B-+4%2Asqrt%282%29 Reduce.


x+=+-6%2B4%2Asqrt%282%29 or x+=+-6-4%2Asqrt%282%29 Break up the expression.


So the solutions are x+=+-6%2B4%2Asqrt%282%29 or x+=+-6-4%2Asqrt%282%29

You are correct. I can tell right off the bat that you are correct (or at least more correct) since the units digit is correct. The answer choice's units digit is way off.

Note: is the first point . So this means that x%5B1%5D=19 and y%5B1%5D=-16.
Also, is the second point . So this means that x%5B2%5D=-7 and y%5B2%5D=-15.


m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%28-15--16%29%2F%28-7-19%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=-15, y%5B1%5D=-16, x%5B2%5D=-7, and x%5B1%5D=19


m=%281%29%2F%28-7-19%29 Subtract -16 from -15 to get 1


m=%281%29%2F%28-26%29 Subtract 19 from -7 to get -26


m=-1%2F26 Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=-1%2F26

Quadratic_Equations/560838: Create a quadratic equation with these two solutions:
x=4 and x=6

x=4 or x=6 Start with the given solutions.


x-4=0 or x-6=0 Get everything to one side so that only 0 remains on the right side (for both equations).


%28x-4%29%28x-6%29=0 Use the zero product property to combine the equations.


x%5E2-10x%2B24=0 FOIL out the left side.


So the answer is x%5E2-10x%2B24=0


To check your work, simply solve x%5E2-10x%2B24=0 for x. Doing so will show you that the solutions are x=4 or x=6, which confirm the answer.

I = Prt
P represents the money invested, or principal amount, r is the simple interest rate, and t represents the time, in years, the money is invested.
Given P = $1,000, t = 9 years, and I = $270, what is the simple interest rate?

I = Prt

270 = 1000*r*9

270 = 1000*9r

270 = 9000r

270/9000 = r

0.03 = r

r = 0.03

So the simple interest rate is 3%

# 1


1-x%3E=8x%2B46 Start with the given inequality.


-x%3E=8x%2B46-1 Subtract 1 from both sides.


-x-8x%3E=46-1 Subtract 8x from both sides.


-9x%3E=46-1 Combine like terms on the left side.


-9x%3E=45 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C=%2845%29%2F%28-9%29 Divide both sides by -9 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C=-5 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x%3C=-5

=======================================================

# 2


8%3C=2-y Start with the given inequality.


0%3C=2-y-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


y%3C=2-8 Add y to both sides.


y%3C=-6 Combine like terms on the right side.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is y%3C=-6
