Answer:
x > -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both sides by -3 to get x by itself. Dividing by a negative number will switch the less-than symbol to a greater-than symbol. -3x ÷ -3 = x and 24 ÷ -3 = -8. When you put it all together, you get x > -8
Answer:
$100
$120 in and $20 out
Step-by-step explanation:
Make 4/5 into 8/10 which would make the decimal .8.
The top line tells you this two figure is similar.
What does this mean? Similar figures have the exact same corresponding angles and proportionate sides.
You can find their side ratio with 38 and 15.2.
38 ÷ 15.2 = 2.5
To find x, use 55 ÷ 2.5 and you get 22 as your answer.
Answer:
# of 20cent stamps = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number 20cent stamps be = x
Let the number 60 cents stamps be = y
Total number of stamps => 20 = x + y ----------- ( 1 )
Total cost of the stamps = 8.80
That is, 0.20x + 0.60y = 8.80 ------------- ( 2 )
( 2 ) => 20x + 60y = 880
=> x + 3y = 44
=> x = 44 - 3y
Substitute x in ( 1 ) => x + y = 20
44 - 3y + y = 20
- 2y = 20 - 44
- 2y = - 24
2y = 24
y = 12
Substitute y = 12 in ( 1 ) => x + y = 20
x + 12 = 20
x = 8
