will anyone explain to me how to solve two step inequalities? it would be most appreciated.
they are called two step inequalities. ill give you an example
-40<5+5x
that makes no sense to me
I don't know :(
SOLVING AN ABSOLUTE INEQUALITY
lET X BE A VARIABLE OR AN ALGEBRATIC EXPRESSION AND LET A BE A REAL NUMBER SUCH A>0.
1. tHE SOLUTION OF [x]<a are all valuesof x that lie between -a and a. That's is.if [x] < a if and only if -a < x <a.
2 The soluion of [x] > a are all values of x that are less than -a or greater than a. That is [x] > a if and only x<-a or x>a.These rules are also valid if < is replaced by <and > is rep-laced by
>.
area of a circle is 16 pie whats the area of the triangle?
I apologize for the confusion in the previous response. It seems there was a misunderstanding. I'll be happy to explain how to solve two-step inequalities.
Let's take the example you provided:
-40 < 5 + 5x
To solve this inequality, we need to isolate the variable, which is x, and find its range of possible values that satisfy the inequality. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality:
-40 - 5 < 5 + 5x - 5
-45 < 5x
Step 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by 5. Since it's a positive number, the inequality symbol remains the same:
-45/5 < 5x/5
-9 < x
So, the solution to the inequality is x > -9. This means that any value of x greater than -9 will satisfy the inequality.
Now, going back to your question about the area of a triangle, we need more information to determine the area. The area of a triangle cannot be determined solely based on the information you provided about the area of a circle. The area of a triangle depends on the lengths of its base and height, or other given measurements. If you provide the necessary information about the triangle, I can help you find its area.
