(2−2n)−(5n−27) >0

distribute

2-2n -5n +27 >0

combine like terms

-7n +29 >0

subtract 29 from each side

-7n> -29

divide by -7 (flips the inequality)

n < -29/-7

n <4.14

natural numbers are 1,2,3,4......

n must be 1,2,3,4

Answer: 1,2,3,4

(2 - 2n) - (5n -27) > 0

-7n +27 + 2 > 0

-7n > -29

n < 29/7 < 4.143

So the natural values of n to make the expression positive are

1, 2, 3 and 4 (answer)

To buy a computer, Raquel borrowed $3,000 at 9%

kumpel [21]

Answer:

$4080

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the amount she will pay back, but first, we need to find the Interest accrued.

Simple Interest is given as:

$I = \frac{P * R * T }{100}$

where P = principal

R = rate

T = time taken (in years)

Therefore, the interest on $3,000 at 9% simple interest for 4 years is:

$I = \frac{3000 * 9 * 4}{100}$

I = $1080

Therefore, the amount she will pay back is:

$3000 + $1080 = $4080

Jay earns $5.90 per hour working at the ice cream parlor after school. He needs at least $236 for a stereo system. Choose the in

Fed [463]

The answer would be B) 5.90x > 236
This is because Jay needs at least 236 therefore the money he earns from working at the ice cream parlor would need to be higher than 236.

Find A ∩ B if A = {2, 5, 8, 11, 14} and B = {1, 3, 5, 7}.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$A=\{2,\ 5,\ 8,\ 11,\ 14\}\\\\B=\{1,\ 3,\ 5,\ 7\}\\\\A\ \cap\ B-\text{the intersection of two sets A and B,}\\\text{ is the set that contains all elements of A that also belong to B.}\\\\\text{Therefore:}\ A\ \cap\ B=\{5\}$

Answer:

$1. m\angle ECB=50\\2. m\textrm{ arc BC}=100\\3. m\textrm{ arc CD}=80\\4. m\angle DCF=40$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\angle DBC=40$ °

From the triangle, using the theorem that center angle by an arc is twice the angle it subtend at the circumference.

$m\textrm{ arc CD}=2\times \angle DBC\\m\textrm{ arc CD}=2\times 40=80$

Also, the diameter of the circle is BD. As per the theorem that says that angle subtended by the diameter at the circumference is always 90°,

$m\angle BCD=90$

From the Δ BCD, which is a right angled triangle,

$m\angle DBC+m\angle BDC=90\textrm{ (right angled triangle)}\\40+m\angle BDC=90\\m\angle BDC=90-40=50$

Now, using the theorem that angle between the tangent and a chord is equal to the angle subtended by the same chord at the circumference.

Here, chords CD and BC subtend angles 40 and 50 at the circumference as shown in the diagram by angles $m\angle DBC\textrm{ and }m\angle BDC$ and EF is a tangent to the circle at point C.
