3.5x-10>-3 add 10 to both sides
3.5x>7 divide both sides by 3.5
x>2
... now for the other inequality:
8x-9<39 add 9 to both sides
8x<48 divide both sides by 3
x<6
So we have x>2 and x<6, so the compound inequality is:
2<x<6 and this means that the solution set is:
x=(2, 6)
Number one would be 13 because you have to add the x to both sides which will leave you with 2x=26 then you have to divide by 2 and you will get x=13. Number two is 7 7/8 because you have to add the 1/3x to the other 1/3x to get 2/3x= 5 1/4 so then you divide both sides by 2/3 and to divide a fraction you do keep change flip so it would be 21/4 times 3/2 which would be 63/8 which simplifys to 7 7/8.
There would be 203,759 total registered doctors that year.
