Answer:

The equation is x + 17 > 26

x > 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a number and 17 is no less than 26

Let "x" be a number.

The sum of a number and 17 = x + 17

No less than means ">"

So, the inequality is x + 17 > 26

We can solve this inequality.

Solve for x.

Subtract 17 on both sides, we get

x + 17 - 17 > 26 - 17

x > 9

We put this into an algebraic equation, where x = the number .
x + 17 > 26
x > 9

This > is the greater than sign, we use this because it's no less than 26.
Ideally we would use this sign:

because it could be equal to 26.

The number is greater or equal to 9

Write the point-slope equation for each line with the given slope and point. y –y1 = m(x – x1) Slope = 5 Point on line = (–1, 3)

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$y-3=5(x+1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-Slope form is: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

'm' - Slope

(x1, y1) - Point Coordinate

We are given the point of (-1,3) and the slope of 5.

Replace 'm' with 5, 'x1' with -1, and 'y1' with 3:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\rightarrow\boxed{y-3=5(x+1)}$

the cost of a candle varies directly with the volume of the candle. If a candle with a volume of 80cm^3 costs $12, what would be

ivanzaharov [21]

First, you need to find out how much will the candle cost per volume. If a candle with a volume of 80cm^3 costs $12, the price of the candle per cm^3 would be: $12/80cm^3= $0.15/cm^3

Then the price of a candle with 120 cm^3 volume would be:120cm^3* $0.15/cm^3= $18
