The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter.
It's all about making sense of an English statement. "half the sum" and "the sum of half" are two distinct expressions.
Additionally, "at least" and "not less than" have equivalent meanings, as do "not more than" and "at most."
It is an issue of matching the thoughts conveyed because all of the expressions are verbally expressed. That is a reading comprehension issue, not a math issue.
"A number is at least five and one quarter when divided by half and three-fourths."
In mathematics, a statement with unequal sides is referred to as an inequality. When a link leads to a non-equal comparison between two expressions or two numbers, it is referred to as an inequality in mathematics.
In this case, the equal sign "=" is replaced with any of the inequality symbols, such as greater than symbol (>), less than symbol (<), greater than or equal to symbol (≥), less than or equal to symbol (≤), or not equal to symbol (≠). There are numerous types of inequalities that can exist in mathematics, including absolute value inequality, rational inequality, and polynomial inequality.

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
0) the basic formula is: L=v*t, where L - distance, v - speed/velocity; t - time;
1) if the person's speed in still water is 'v' and the speed of water is 5 (according to the condition), then the upstream speed is 'v-5' and the downstream speed is 'v+5';
2) according to the condition the upstream time and the downstream time are the same, it means t₁=t₂=t, where t₁=upstream time and t₂=downstream time;
3) according to the items above it is possible to make up the equation of the upstream travel: t(v-5)=3; ⇒ t=3/(v-5);
4) according to the items above it is possible to make up the equation of the downstream travel: t(v+5)=13; ⇒ t=13/(v+5);
5) if t=3/(v-5) and t=13/(v+5), then

8 + 3b= -13
-8. -8
3b= -21
Divide by 3
B= -7
What are the numbers x and y are sopposed to be?
Answer:
50 units
Step-by-step explanation:
you use Pythagorean-theorem which means A^2+B^2 =C^2
It does not matter the order of A and B because it is adding. But C is the hypotenuse.
If we plug in the # this is what it looks like...
14^2 +48^2=C^2
or
48^2+14^2=C^2
14*14= 196
48*48=2,304
then you add
196+2,304=C^2
2,500= C^2
and you can use a calculator for this part you do 2,500
with the 2,500 you use the sign as in the picture and it gives you...
50
which means 50*50 = 2,500
