Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. What's wrong with this argument? Suppose \(x\) and \(y\) represent two real numbers, where \(x>y .\) $$ \begin{aligned} 2 &>1 \\ 2(y-x) &>1(y-x) \\ 2 y-2 x &>y-x \\ y-2 x &>-x \\ y &>x \end{aligned} $$ The final inequality, \(y>x,\) is impossible because we were initially given \(x>y\)
In Exercises 95–102, use interval notation to represent all values of x satisfying the given conditions. \(y=1-(x+3)+2 x\) and \(y\) is at least 4
In Exercises 122–133, use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. An elevator at a construction site has a maximum capacity of 2800 pounds. If the elevator operator weighs 265 pounds and each cement bag weighs 65 pounds, how many bags of cement can be safely lifted on the elevator in one trip?
Use the Pythagorean Theorem and the square root property to solve. Express answers in simplified radical form. Then find a decimal approximation to the nearest tenth. A rectangular park is 6 miles long and 3 miles wide. How long is a pedestrian route that runs diagonally across the park?
Explaining the Concepts. Describe how to solve an absolute value inequality involving the symbol \(>.\) Give an example.
