X 18. MODELING WITH MATHEMATICS The inequality
3x + 2y 2 93 represents the numbers x of multiple-
choice questions and the numbers y of matching
questions you can answer correctly to receive an A on
a test. You answer 20 multiple-choice questions and
18 matching questions correctly. Do you receive an A
on the test? Explain.

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers into the inequality and see if it is true.

Given x = 20, y = 18, ...

  3x + 2y = 3(20) +2(18) = 60 +36 = 96 ≥ 93 . . . . true

You have met the requirements for an A on the test.

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
