1.If a number a is always less than another number b, which of the following expressions expresses their relationship? A. a≤b

B. a≥b

C. a>b

D. a 0

D. x 9
Which of the following sentences is the word equivalent of the expression above?

A. The product between 3 and a number is no less than 9.

B. The product between 3 and a number is greater than 9.

C. The product between 3 and a number is no more than 9.

D. The product between 3 and a number is less than 9.

Let's define the symbols:

x <  y

means that x is strictly less than y.

x ≤ y

means that x is less than or equal to y.

(both of these signs can be in the other direction, take that in mind).

A) " a is always less than another number b"

Here we should have:

a < b.

a is always less than the other number b.

This is not in the options, so i suppose that there is a mistake in the question.

B) The expression "above" is not shown here, so i will just writhe the correspondent expression for each option, and you can see which one matches with the expression above.

a) "The product between 3 and a number is no less than 9"

3*n ≥ 9.

b) "The product between 3 and a number is greater than 9."

3*n > 9

c) "The product between 3 and a number is no more than 9"

3*n ≤ 9

d) "The product between 3 and a number is less than 9"

3*n < 9

step-by-step explanation:

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
