Answer:
...............
Step-by-step explanation:
x>7
Step-by-step explanation:
when dividing by a (-)
the inequality sign changes
The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let
and
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system

We can use the first equation to substitute in the second

And then solve for
:

For the second problem, let
and
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.
Answer:- The smaller integer is -5.
Explanation:-
Let the first consecutive integer be x and the second consecutive integer be x+1.
According to the given question:-
x+6(x+1)= -29
⇒x+6x+6= -29 [distributive law]
⇒x+6x= -29-6 [subtract 6 on the both sides]
⇒7x= -35 [combining like terms ]
⇒x= -5 [dividing 7 on both sides]
Thus the smaller integer =x= -5
larger integer =x+1= -5+1= -4
Answer: y=0.60x+36.94
To find the equation we just set y equal to the 0.60 cents times x miles plus the 36.94 base fee. Any questions just ask. Cheers
