Answer:

x - 2 > 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following word sentence and we are to translate it into a mathematical inequality:

'2 less than a number is more than 8'

Breaking down this word sentence into smaller parts to make it easier to translate.

1. 2 less than ---> - 2

2. a number ---> x (or it can be any other number)

3. is more than 8 ---> > 8

Combining all these to get:

x - 2 > 8

Harper went into a movie theater and bought 10 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks,

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The price of a drink = $4

The price of a bag of popcorn = $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent popcorn and d represent drink

Harper bought 10 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks and paid $79 ➡ 10p + 6d = $79

Damian bought 3 bags of popcorn and 5 drinks and paid $36.50 ➡ 3p + 5d = $36.50

Now multiply first equation by -3 and second equation by 10

-3 × (10p + 6d) = $79 ➡ -30p - 18d = -$237

10 × (3p + 5d) = $36.50 ➡ 30p + 50d = $365

Now add the new equationd

30p + 50d -30p - 18d = $365 - $237 (-30p will eliminate 30p)

32d = $128 divide both sides of the equation by 32

32 ÷ 32d = 32 ÷ $128 ➡ d = 4

If d = 4 that means a drink costs $4 we can use this information to find the price of a bag of popcorn

3p + 5d = $36.50 (replace d with 4)

3p + 4×5 = $36.50

3p + 20 = $36.50

3p = $36.50 - 20

3p = 16.50 divide both sides by 3

p = $5.5

The orbital period, P, of a planet and the planet's distance from the sun, a, in astronomical units is related by the formula P

anygoal [31]

Answer:

a for saturn is 9.55 astronomical units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the distance from the sun.

Mathematically, from the question;

P = a^3/2

29.5 = a^3/2

a = 29.5^2/3

a = [3√(29.5)]^2

a = 9.55 in astronomical units

In a circle, a chord of 50 cm bisects a chord of 40 cm. Find the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord.

Andreyy89

Answer:

The length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = x

so, the other segment = 50 - x

A chord of 50 cm bisects a chord of 40 cm

using the Intersecting Chords Theorem

so, x(50-x) = 20 * 20

50x - x² = 400

x² - 50x + 400 = 0

(x - 40)(x - 10) = 0

x = 40 or x = 10

So, the the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = 40
