I think it makes it more easier if you simplify the inequality.
4x + 20 < 40 First subtract 20 on both sides
4x + 20 - 20 < 40 - 20
4x < 20 DIvide 4 on both sides to get the variable "x" by itself
x < 5 [x is less than 5, so x represents the numbers that are less than 5]
[Note:
If the sign is < or >, you use an open circle.
If the sign is ≤ or ≥, you use a closed circle.]
Your answer is the 1st option because the solution is any number that is less than 5

=29 miles each day
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Use proportions to solve this problem

Solve for "x"
x = 
Simplification
x = 
Result
x = 15
Answer:
More information is needed, maximum weekly profit is $1750.
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum profit would assume Burger King does not sell any burgers on Friday, therefore all 500 burgers were sold at $3.50. 500*$3.50 = $1750 in maximum earnings for the week. More information is needed about the split between the burgers sold over the week.
Maybe the question was trying to say 500 burgers were sold on Friday. In that case, assuming every customer got three burgers, 500/3 = 166.6 customers, rounding down because you cannot have half a customer, 166 customers on Friday. Each customer paid for two burgers 166*2*$3.50 = $1162 in earnings on Friday.
