Solve each of the equations independently, then determine if the are continuous or discontinuous. 
15≥-3x [start here]
-5≤x    [divide both sides by (-3). *Dividing by a negative number means the direction of the sign changes!]
x≥-5  [just turned around for analysis]

Next equation:
2/3x≥-2    [start here]
x≥-2(3/2)  [multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal, 3/2)
x≥-3

So, (according to the first equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -5.

(According to the second equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -3. 
So, when graphed on a number line, both equations graph in the same direction, so they are continuous.

The 'or' means that it has to be one OR the other, the numbers where both are true are not solutions


solve each independenlty, remember that dividing or multiplying both sides by a negaive flips the inequality sign direction



15≥-3x
divide both sides by -3 and don't forget to flip sign
-5≤x
x≥-5


ok, solve 2nd one
2/3 x≥-2
multiply both sides by 3/2
x≥-3


so we got
x≥-5 and x≥-3
they intersect in x≥-3, so x≥-3 is not a solution reigon

the solution set is x≥-5 but stops at -3, so it would be -5≤x<-3

How do i resolve this?
EleoNora [17]
Solve for y for both equations then equate and solve:

5x + 9y = 160
9y = 160 - 5x
y = 160/9 - 5/9x

9x + 8y = 202
8y = 202 - 9x
y = 202/8 - 9/8x

160/9 - 5/9x = 202/8 - 9/8x (common denominator is 72)

1280/72 - 40/72x = 1818/72 - 81/72x
1818/72 - 1280/72 = 81/72x - 40/72x
538/72 = 41/72x
538 = 41x
538/41 = x
x = 13 5/41

Decrease 117 kg in the ratio 10:13​
Lisa [10]

Answer:

90kg

Step-by-step explanation:

it is so because, to decrease a number by a ratio you have to multiply with the smallest number and divide with the biggest one. For example 117 in the ratio 7:3. 117×3=351 which is divided by 7 and is equal to 50.14.
