Which is NOT a solution of the inequality 5 - 2x ≥ -3? (1)0 (2)2 (3)4 (4)5

Explain the reasoning for your answer.

5 is not a solution of the inequality

The inequality is given as:

Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality

Evaluate the like terms

Divide both sides by -2

The above inequality means that:

The possible solution of x are numbers that do not exceed 4.

Hence, 5 is not a solution of the inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x >= -3

-2x >= -8 (subtract 5 on both sides)

x <= 4 (divide -2 on both sides, flip the sign)

Hence x = 5 is not a solution. (4)

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
