Which equation best represents this situation?

7 0

Hello!

We have the difference between 30 and x(our unknown value) is equal to 17; so we just simply set it up that way. Always think of x or any variable(like in your question they use p, it can be anything u want, it’s simply a representation of an unknown value we are trying to find)as your unknown and what operation they are implying as in this case it’s subtraction as they want the difference between 30 and x.

So the answer is a. 30-p=17

Hope this helped and any questions please just ask. Thank you!

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

C. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

He is going to have 12 people including himself, and each is going to have 750 mL

12*750

9000 mL

There are 1000 mL in each liter, so divide 9000 by 1000

9000/1000=9

So he needs to buy 9, 1 liter containers of fruit punch

Hope this helps :)

What is the solution set for 3x+1(more than or equal to)8 and 10x(less than or equal to)15

charle [14.2K]

There is no overlap in the solutions to the two inequalities.

The solution set is the empty set: { }.

_____
The solution to the first is x ≥ (8-1)/3, or x ≥ 2 1/3.
The solution to the second is x ≤ 15/10, or x ≤ 1 1/2.
