How do inequalities work

Mathematics

hmmm in short, the sign is like an opening with a corner > or <, and the value where the opening is, is the greater one, the value towards the corner, is the lesser one.


a > b <--- a is greater than b

b < a <--- a is greater than b

a ⩾ b <-- a is greater than or equals to b

b ⩽ a <--- a is greater than or equals to b

then again, you can also read it as

a > b <--- b is lesser than a.

b < a  <--- b is lesser than a.

Think of it as a crocodile, if the crocodile's jaws are facing a number, that means it's greater but if it's back is turned to a number, that means it's less than the other number. Note that it's never always facing right or left it can be any direction.

Hope this helps! :D

What is the solution set for<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%204%20%5Ctimes%20%20%2B%2010%20%5Cgeqslant%205%28x%20%2B%2011
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer

The solution set to this inequality equation is

x ≤ -5

Explanation

We are asked to find the solution set for

-4x + 10 ≥ 5 (x + 11)

-4x + 10 ≥ 5x + 55

-4x - 5x ≥ 55 - 10

-9x ≥ 45

Divide both sides by -9 (Note that dividing both sides of an inequality equation by -9 will reverse the inequality sign)

(-9x/-9) ≤ (45/-9)

x ≤ -5

Hope this Helps!!!

the expression 8x + 12y represents the sum of harry and mike’s total monthly wages, where x represents the number of hours Harry
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Given the expression that represents the sum of harry and mike's total monthly wages:

8x+12y

where

x represents the  number of hours Harry worked

y represents the number of hours Mike worked.

The Distributive property says that:

a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c

8x+12y

Apply the distributive property:

4 \cdot 2x + 4 \cdot 3y

4(2x+3y)

The another way of writing the given expression as: 4(2x+3y)

And we conclude that the rewriting expression 4(2x+3y)  represents the sum of harry and mike's total weekly wages.

Thirty-three more than a number is<br> 55.
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: 22

In number form this equation is:

33 + x = 55

Subtract 33 from both sides

55-33 is 22

X= 22

The number is 22

35% of the students on a field trip love the zoo. If there are students on the field trip, how many love the zoo?
kenny6666 [7]

Your question is missing an important value. That is the number of people on this trip. So we assume that 250 people are on this trip.

Answer:

88 persons

Step-by-step explanation:

Be cause your question does not have the total number of people on this trip, I assumed that the number of people should be 250.

Now we are to find 35% of 250.

This would give the total number of people they enjoyed the trip

0.35 x 250

= 87.5

approximately 88 persons

So we say that 88 persons loved the zoo.

To trick is to find 35% of whatever number of people are on this field trip.
