One possible inequality would be

1999-x<0.

If you subtract any year after he stepped down from 1999, the year he stepped down, the result will be a negative number.

We know Nelson was president in the year 1999. If x, represents any year at all then we have to write an equality to represent years after the year that Nelson stepped down from the presidency.

1999-x<0

Because 1999 has to be less than the value it is up for. Any year after 1999 would be greater than 1999. This has to be a negative number because if you subtract any year after he stepped down the result will have to be negative, because the year will be after 1999. Hope this helps!

The average annual costs for owning two different refrigerators for x years is given by the two functions: f(x) = 850 + 62x /x a
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

In the long run cost of the refrigerator g(x) will be cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average annual cost for owning two different refrigerators for x years is given by two functions

f(x) = \frac{850+62x}{x}

     = \frac{850}{x}+62

and g(x) = \frac{1004+51x}{x}

             = \frac{1004}{x}+51

If we equate these functions f(x) and g(x), value of x (time in years) will be the time by which the cost of the refrigerators will be equal.

At x = 1 year

f(1) = 850 + 62 = $912

g(1) = 1004 + 51 = $1055

So initially f(x) will be cheaper.

For f(x) = g(x)

\frac{850}{x}+62 = \frac{1004}{x}+51

\frac{1004}{x}-\frac{850}{x}=1004-850

\frac{154}{x}=11

x = \frac{154}{11}=14

Now f(15) = 56.67 + 62 = $118.67

and g(x) = 66.93 + 51 = $117.93

So g(x) will be cheaper than f(x) after 14 years.

This tells below 14 years f(x) will be less g(x) but after 14 years cost g(x) will be cheaper than f(x).

Each time Kristine gets paid, she spends $20 and saves the rest. If the amount Kristine earns is represented by x and the amount
faust18 [17]

We are given that Kristine spends $20 and saves the rest each time she get paid.

We can use slope-intercept form y=mx+b to represent the equation.

Where x represents the amount Kristine earns and y represents the amount she saves.

Kristine spends $20. Therefore b= -20.

Plugging mx as just x and b=-20.

<h3>y = x-20.</h3><h3>If we plug y=0, we get </h3><h3>0 = x-20</h3><h3>x=20.</h3><h3>We can see in 4th option we have x-intercept =20.</h3><h3>Therefore, correct option is 4th option. </h3><h3 />

Divide 42 in a ratio of 1:2:3
Vilka [71]

the ratio in which 42 should be divided is 1:2:3

the sum of the parts of the ratio is - 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

this means that there's a sum of 6 parts

so we need to find how much 1 part is equivalent to

if 6 parts are equivalent to 42

then 1 part is equivalent to - 42/6 = 7

so the ratio should be 1:2:3

1 part - 7

2 parts - 7 x 2 = 14

3 parts - 7 x 3 = 21

therefore 42 divided into 1:2:3 ratio is as follows

7 : 14 : 12

As usual, draw a diagram. You can easily see that if you are x away from the wall, 

<span>the angle of elevation of the bottom of the screen (A) is </span>

<span>cotA = x/3 </span>
<span>A = arccot(x/3) </span>

<span>angle B to the top is </span>

<span>cotB = x/10 </span>
<span>B = arccot(x/10) </span>

Perry currently has $180 dollars and is spending $6 per day. Nick has no money but is earning $8 each day. After how many days w
Elan Coil [88]

12.857 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of days is passing the same for both Nick and Perry we can assign the unknown value (no. Of days) the same denotation of x

Therefore;

180 – 6x = 0 + 8x

180 = 8x + 6x

180 = 14x

X = 12.857
