Question 69634This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
: I have tried figuring out these problems, but I am so lost. Can you please help me solve the following problems? Thank you.
(a) 7x + 3 > 9x - 5
(b) 5x - 5 < - (sign for less than or equal to)2x + 10
(c) A copper conducting wire measures 84 centimeters in length. It is cut into two pieces. The shorter piece is 5 centimeters shorter than the long piece. Find the length of each piece.
(d) Find the area of a circular flower bed whose diameter is 6 meters. Use ``~ = 3.14 as an approximate value. This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve the following problems? Thank you.
(a) 7x + 3 > 9x - 5
Add 5 to both sides to get:
7x+8>9x
Subtract 7x from both sides to get:
8>2x
Divide both sides by 2 to get:
x<4
--------------------
(b) 5x - 5 < = 2x + 10
Add 5 to both sides to get:
5x<=2x+15
Subtract 2x from both sides to get:
3x<-15
Divide both sides by 3 to get:
x<-5
---------------------------------
(c) A copper conducting wire measures 84 centimeters in length. It is cut into two pieces. The shorter piece is 5 centimeters shorter than the long piece. Find the length of each piece.
Let one piece be of length "x"; Let the other be of length "84-x"
Let "x" be the shorter piece.
EQUATION:
x +5= 84-x
2x=79
x=39.5 cm
84-x= 44.5 cm
-------------------
(d) Find the area of a circular flower bed whose diameter is 6 meters. Use ``~ = 3.14 as an approximate value.
If the diameter is 6 meters, the radius is 3 meters
-----------
Area of a circle = (pi)r^2 = (pi)(3^2)= 9(3.14) = 28.26 sq cm
