The answer to this is 4 ≤ x

In order to find this, follow the order of operations.

−7 ≥ 13 − 5x ----> Subtract 13 from both sides

-20 ≥ -5x -----> Divide by -5

4 ≤ x (NOTE: the sign changes direction when dividing by a negative.

Solve for x:

−7 ≥ 13 − 5x

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

−7 ≥ 13 − 5x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−7≥ − 5x + 13

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−5x + 13 ≤ −7

Step 3: Subtract 13 from both sides.

−5x + 13 − 13 ≤ − 7 − 13

−5x ≤ − 20

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

−5x/ −5 ≤ −20/ −5

x ≥ 4

Answer: x ≥ 4

Hope that helps!!! : )

To make fruit punch for a party, we need 4 1⁄2 gallons of ginger ale, 1 gallon of strawberry juice, 2 3⁄4 gallons of frozen oran

lina2011 [118]

For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:

$4 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 4 + 1} {2} = \frac {9} {2}\\2 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {4 * 2 + 3} {4} = \frac {11} {4}$

Now we add the fractions:

$\frac{9} {2}+1+ \frac {11} {4} + \frac {1} {8} =$

We find the least common multiple of the denominators. The l.c.m is 8, then we divide by each denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.

$\frac {36 + 8 + 22 + 1} {8} =\\\frac {67} {8} =$

8,375

Thus, the punch recipe implies 8.375 gallons. If we convert to a mixed number we have:

$8 \frac {3} {8}$ gallons

Answer:

$8 \frac {3} {8}$ gallons

Mason, a hardwood flooring installer, needs to calculate the amount of hardwood flooring needed to cover a floor that's 33⁄4 yar

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

20 5/8 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

width = 3 3/4 yd

length = 5 1/2 yd

First change both measurements to fractions.

3 3/4 = 3 + 3/4 = 12/4 + 3/4 = 15/4

5 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 10/2 + 1/2 = 11/2

area = length * width

area = 15/4 yd * 11/2 yd

area = (15 * 11)/(4 * 2) yd^2

area = 165/8 yd^2

165/8 = 20 remainder 5

area = 20 5/8 yd^2
