Considering the definition of an inequality, the maximum number of tickets that they can buy is 10.

<h3>Definition of inequality</h3>

An inequality is the existing inequality between two algebraic expressions, connected through the signs:

greater than >.
less than <.
less than or equal to ≤.
greater than or equal to ≥.

An inequality contains one or more unknown values called unknowns, in addition to certain known data.

Solving an inequality consists of finding all the values of the unknown for which the inequality relation holds.

<h3>Maximum number of tickets that they can buy</h3>

In this case, you know that

One ticket to a ride of the merry-go-round at the Sunday Fair costs $2.
Jenny and her friends have $36 with them.
After buying tickets to the merry-go-round, they want to be left with no less than $15.

So, they want to spend on the purchase of tickets for the merry-go-round a value less than or equal to $36 - $15= $21.

Being "x" the maximum number of tickets that they can buy, the inequality that expresses the previous relationship is

2x≤ 21

Solving:

x≤ 21÷2

Then, the maximum number of tickets that they can buy is 10.

What is the value of x ??? in trapezoid ABCD?? <br> HELP ASAP

Alexeev081 [22]

It would be 15 because the way you would set it up is equal to 180 because they are opposite and they have to add up to 180 in order for the whole shape to be 360. so 3x+9x=180 and then 12x=180 and divide 180 by 12 which is 15 and you can also plug in 15 to check

Using the pattern below determine the appropriate term number. Show or explain how you arrived at your answers. 6,15,24,33,42,..

katrin2010 [14]

We can solve this using the formula nth term = a+(n-1)d
so the 10th term will be 87
75th term will be 132
and nth will be 9n-3

Janice correctly answered 21 of the 24 question. What percent of the questions did she answer correctly?

ikadub [295]

Answer: 87.5%

Explanation: Since Janice answered correctly 21 questions out of 24 questions, you would divide 21 from 24

21/24 = 0.875

0.875 as a percentage would mean moving the decimal point two places to the right as 87.5%
