We assume all employees are either full-time or part-time.

36 = 24 + 12

If the number of full-time employees is 24 or less, the number of part-time employees must be 12 or more. (Thinking, based on knowledge of sums.)

_____

You can write the inequality in two stages.

  1. First, write and solve an equation for the number of full-time employees in terms of the number of part-time employees.
  2. Then apply the given constraint on full-time employees. This gives an inequality you can solve for the number of part-time employees.

Let f and p represent the numbers of full-time and part-time employees, respectively.

... f + p = 36 . . . . . . given

... f = 36 - p . . . . . . . subtract p. This is our expression for f in terms of p.

... f ≤ 24 . . . . . . . . . given

... (36 -p) ≤ 24 . . . . substitute for f. Here's your inequality in p.

... 36 - 24 ≤ p . . . . add p-24

... p ≥ 12 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Therefore 70 year Marc's grandmother be 5 times of as Marc will be after (70-56) = 14 year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Marc was born on his grandmother's 56th birthday.

Let , x year will Marc's grandmother be 5 times as Marc will be then.

At that time the age of Marc will be = (x-56) year

According to the problem,

x= 5(x-56)

⇔x = 5x - 280

⇔x-5x= -280

⇔-4x=-280

⇔x=70

Therefore 70 year Marc's grandmother be 5 times of as Marc will be after (70-56) = 14 year.
