Enter an inequality that represents the graph in the box.

mamaluj [8]

We know the y intercept is -6 and we know the slope is positive 4 (rise over run) so the equation is y=4x-6 if we plug in a shaded point (I would choose 0,0 for convenience reasons) 0=-6 since -6 is less than 0, the expression would be y≥4x-6

Eighteen less than three times a number is twice the number. Write and solve

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The number is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation to represent this. Let x represent the unknown number.

3x - 18 = 2x

Move 2x to the left side. Remember, "change the side, change the sign." Add 0 as a placeholder to the right of the equals sign.

3x - 2x - 18 = 0

Simplify like terms.

x - 18 = 0

Move -18 to the right of the equals sign.

x = 18

Now that we know x = 18, we can substitute it into the problem.

"Eighteen less than three times 18 is two times 18."

18 x 3 = 54

54 - 18 = 36

36 is, in fact, two times 18. We can check this by dividing 36 by 2.

36 ÷ 2 = 18

Riverside Elementary School is holding a school-wide election to choose a school color. 5/8 of the voters were for blue 5/9 of t

padilas [110]

Answer:

There were 180 voters for blue color.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of voters be 'x'.

Given:

Number of Voters for blue color = $\frac{5}{8}x$

Number of Voters for green color = $\frac{5}{9}(x-\frac58x)=\frac59x(1-\frac58)$

Now we will use LCM to make the denominator common we get;

Number of Voters for green color = $\frac59x(\frac88-\frac58)=\frac59x(\frac{8-5}{9})=\frac59x(\frac38)=\frac{15x}{72}$

Number of Voters for red color = 48

We need to find the number of voters for blue color.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

total number of voters is equal to sum of Number of Voters for blue color, Number of Voters for green color and Number of Voters for red color.

framing in equation form we get;

$x=\frac58x+\frac{15x}{72}+48$

Combining like terms we get;

$x-\frac58x-\frac{15x}{72} = 48$

Now we will make denominators common using LCM we get;

$\frac{72x}{72}-\frac{5x\times9}{8\times9}-\frac{15x\times1}{72\times 1} = 48\\\\\frac{72x}{72}-\frac{45x}{72}-\frac{15x}{72} = 48$

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerators we get;

$\frac{72x-45x-15x}{72}=48\\\\\frac{12x}{72}=48\\\\\frac{x}{6}=48$

Now multiplying both side by 6 we get;

$\frac{1}{6}x\times6=48\times6\\\\x = 288$

Number of voters for blue color = $\frac{5}{8}x=\frac{5}{8}\times 288= 180$

Hence There were 180 voters for blue color.
