the first answer is 7 the second is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

to slove plug in a variable in the blank space.

5(a/8)<5

divide both side by 5

a/8 <1

a=7

7/8 <1

-

the same method can be used for the second 6(2/a)=6

divide by 6

2/a=1

a=2

up

step-by-step explanation:

the orientation of the parabolas can easily be found by analysing the power of x and y and their signs. if x is squared , parabola opens up and also if its coefficient is negative it opens down. if y is squared , the parabola opens right and also if its coefficient is negative it opens left. however in order to do the above analysis our equation must be in standard form .

our parabola is

which is not standard form of any parabola . hence we square on both hand side and convert it into standard form.

hence we see that x is squared and its coefficient is non negative . there for it opens up.

how is that middle school
