Answer:
x > 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(3x - 5) < 2(3x + 4)
Divide both sides by 2.
-2(3x - 5) < 3x + 4
Distribute on the left side.
-6x + 10 < 3x + 4
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-9x + 10 < 4
Subtract 10 from both sides.
-9x < - 6
Divide both sides by -9. Remember that when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.
x > (-6)/(-9)
x > 6/9
x > 2/3

Answer:
17 nickles !
Step-by-step explanation:
First, identify the variables:
n = amount of nickels
d = amount of dimes
Next, setup the equations based on what you know. The first equation is:
n + d = 28
For the second equation, we know that a dime is worth 10¢ and a nickel is 5¢, so it should be:
0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95
This a three-step answer:
In one formula (you can use any of them; most people use the simplest one), single out the variable on one side
Apply the first formula into the second formula, and solve it to get the value of one variable
Apply the answer from the second formula into the first formula, and solve it to get the value of the other variable
======
Step One:
n + d = 28
n + d - d = 28 - d
n = 28 - d
Step Two:
0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95
(0.05 * (28 - d)) + 0.10d = 1.95
1.40 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 1.95
1.40 + 0.05d = 1.95
1.40 - 1.40 + 0.05d = 1.95 - 1.40
0.05d = 0.55
d = 11
Step Three:
n = 28 - d
n = 28 - 11
n = 17
======
Your answer should be 17 nickels and 11 dimes.
You can double check by applying the variables into both formulas.
n + d = 28
17 + 11 = 28
28 = 28
0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95
(0.05 * 17) + (0.10 * 11) = 1.95
0.85 + 1.10 = 1.95
1.95 = 1.95
I hope this helped.
Tbh I would say ounces or grams. I wouldn't make a final decision on my answer though.
