Part A: Solve –mk – 90 > 85 for m. Show your work. (4 points) Part B: Solve 3c – 5f = 55 for f. Show your work. (6 points)

Respuesta :

A: mk < -175   if k >0, then m < -175/m,  if k = 0, no answers,  if k < 0, then m > -175/m

B: 5f = 3c-55,  then f = 3c-55/5

Answer:

(A)

Solve: [tex]-mk-90>85[/tex] for m;                   .....[1]

Addition property of equality states that you add same number to both sides of an equation

Add 90 to both sides in [1], we get;

-mk-90+90 > 85+90

Simplify:

-mk>175 or

Now, divide both sides by -k.

[tex]m< -\frac{175}{k}[/tex]

Also remember, that  when you divide or multiply a number in an inequality, you must flip the sign to its opposite.

Therefore, the value of [tex]m< -\frac{175}{k}[/tex] for k≠0.

(B)

Solve: 3c-5f=55  for f;

Subtract both sides by 3c we get;

3c-5f-3c=55-3c

Simplify:

-5f= 55-3c

Divide both side by -5 we get;

[tex]\frac{-5f}{-5}= \frac{55-3c}{-5}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]f=\frac{x}{y} =\frac{55}{-5}- \frac{3c}{-5}[/tex]

or

[tex]f=-11+\frac{3c}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]f=-11+\frac{3c}{5}[/tex] for every c.
