M=f+240

m+f=25000, using m from above in this equation gives you:

f+240+f=25000  combine like terms on left side

2f+240=25000  subtract 240 from both sides

2f=24760  divide both sides by 2

f=12380, and since m=f+240

m=12620

So there are 12620 males and 12380 females in the city.

To solve you start by dividing 25,000 in half. This gives you 12,500. Then you subtract 240 from it to find the number of females (12,260). Finally you subtract 12, 260 from 25,000 to find the number of males.

So there are 12,260 females and 12,740 males

Which number is a solution of the inequality?
padilas [110]

we know that

A number is an inequality solution if the number satisfies the inequality

<u>Part 1)</u> 10.6 < b

rewrite the inequality

b > 10.6

The answer Part 1) is the option D 14

Because  14 satisfies the inequality

14 > 10.6 -----> is true

<u>Part 2)</u> m > 7/12

The answer Part 2) is the option A 1

Because  1 satisfies the inequality

1 > 7/12 -----> is true

<u>Part 3)</u> 8< x(7-x)

we're going to verify every case

<u>case A)</u> For x=2

substitute the value of x in the inequality

8< 2(7-2)

8< 10 ------> is true

therefore

The number 2 is a solution

<u>case B)</u> For x=8

substitute the value of x in the inequality

8< 8(7-8)

8< -8 ------> is not true

therefore

The number 8 is not a solution

<u>case C)</u> For x=-1

substitute the value of x in the inequality

8< -1(7-(-1))

8< -8 ------> is not true

therefore

The number -1 is not a solution

<u>case D)</u> For x=0

substitute the value of x in the inequality

8< 0(7-0)

8< 0 ------> is not true

therefore

The number 0 is not a solution

therefore

The answer Part 3) is the option A 2
