Answer:
A -6 < x ≤ -3
Step-by-step explanation:
21 ≤ - 3(x - 4) < 30
Divide all parts by -3. Remember that flips the inequalities
21/-3 ≥ - 3/-3 (x - 4) > 30/-3
-7 ≥ (x - 4) > -10
Add 4 to all sides
-7+4 ≥ x - 4+4 > -10+4
-3 ≥ x > -6
Rearranging the order
-6 < x ≤ -3
Answer: the answer is s = -19
Answer:
There will be 916 ants alive after 4 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let's change the percentage to a decimal by dividing by a 100.
6.5% / 100 = .065
Step 2
So, for the first month we will multiply the initial amount of ants by .065 and this will give us the number of ants that die.
1200 * .065 = 78
This means that after the first month, 1200 - 78 = 1122 ants will be alive.
Step 3
Now for the second month: 1122 * .065 = 72.93 (rounded to 73)
1122 - 73 = 1049 ants will be alive
Step 4
For the third month 1049 * .065 = 68.185 (rounded to 68)
1049 - 68 = 981 ants will be alive
Step 5
For the fourth month 981 * .065 = 63.765 (rounded to 64)
981 - 64 = 916 ants will be alive
Hope this helps!
