Answer:
If you take it in terms of integers,
9+3v may or may not be greater or equal to 6. It depends on the value of the variable you put in.
For eg:- if you substitute the value for v as 2 then 9+3x2=15 which is greater than 6 but if you put in -1 for v then you will get 9+3x(-1)=6
The equivalent fraction of 9/15 would be 3/5.
His work should have looked like this.
2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10 When he added in both sides, he subtracted 10 from 10,
5x = 20 instead of adding 10 from 10 to make 20.
x = 4
2(4) + y = 5
8 + y = 5
y = -3
I believe the correct answer is 15, because 15/8 x 15/1= 225/8 and when you simplify that you get 28 with 1/8 left over.
Answer:
8x = 136
Where: x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Joshua is writing a novel. He wrote the same number of pages each day for a 8 days. At the end of 8 days he had 136 pages complete. Write an equation relating x, the number of days, to y, the total pages.
Let the number of pages read per day = x
Hence, the number of pages after 8 days = 8 × x = 8x
Total number of pages = y= 136
Therefore:an equation relating x, the number of days, to y, the total pages.
= 136 = 8x
Solving for x
136/8 = x
x = 17
