Answers: Choice D, Choice E, Choice F</h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
The inequality 6x - 10y ≥ 9 solves to y ≤ (3/5)x - 9/10 when you isolate y.
Graph the line y = (3/5)x - 9/10 and make this a solid line. The boundary line is solid due to the "or equal to" as part of the inequality sign. We shade below the boundary line because of the "less than" after we isolated for y.
Now graph all of the points given as I've done so in the diagram below. The points in the blue shaded region, or on the boundary line, are part of the solution set. Those points are D, E and F.
We can verify this algebraically. For instance, if we weren't sure point E was a solution or not, we would plug the coordinates into the inequality to get...
6x - 10y ≥ 9
6(5) - 10(2) ≥ 9 .... plug in (x,y) = (5,2)
30 - 20 ≥ 9
10 ≥ 9 ... this is a true statement
Since we end up with a true statement, this verifies point E is one of the solutions. I'll let you check points D and F.

I'll show an example of something that doesn't work. Let's pick on point A.
We'll plug in (x,y) = (-1,1)
6x - 10y ≥ 9
6(-1) - 10(1) ≥ 9
-6 - 10 ≥ 9
-16 ≥ 9
The last inequality is false because -16 is smaller than 9. So this shows point A is not a solution. Choices B and C are non-solutions for similar reasons.
So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.
you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.
then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.
Solve for m:3 m + 7/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
Put each term in 3 m + 7/2 over the common denominator 2: 3 m + 7/2 = (6 m)/2 + 7/2:(6 m)/2 + 7/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
(6 m)/2 + 7/2 = (6 m + 7)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
Put each term in 5/2 - 2 m over the common denominator 2: 5/2 - 2 m = 5/2 - (4 m)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = 5/2 - (4 m)/2
5/2 - (4 m)/2 = (5 - 4 m)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = (5 - 4 m)/2
Multiply both sides by 2:6 m + 7 = 5 - 4 m
Add 4 m to both sides:6 m + 4 m + 7 = (4 m - 4 m) + 5
4 m - 4 m = 0:6 m + 4 m + 7 = 5
6 m + 4 m = 10 m:10 m + 7 = 5
Subtract 7 from both sides:10 m + (7 - 7) = 5 - 7
7 - 7 = 0:10 m = 5 - 7
5 - 7 = -2:10 m = -2
Divide both sides of 10 m = -2 by 10:(10 m)/10 = (-2)/10
10/10 = 1:m = (-2)/10
The gcd of -2 and 10 is 2, so (-2)/10 = (2 (-1))/(2×5) = 2/2×(-1)/5 = (-1)/5:Answer: m = (-1)/5
Answer:
x = -10/13
Step-by-step explanation:
10x + 7 = -3x - 3
Add 3x to both sides
10x + 3x + 7 = -3x + 3x - 3
13x + 7 = 0x - 3
13x + 7 = -3
Subtract 7 from both sides
13x + 7 - 7 = -3 - 7
13x + 0 = -10
13x = -10
Divide both sides by 13
13x ÷ 13 = -10 ÷ 13
1x = -10/13
x = -10/13
<span>0.4 is 10 times as much as ? for answering this, we put x an unknown number such that 0.4 is 10 times as much as x, so it does mean 0.4 =10x, so for finding the value of x, we divids 0.4 by 10, x= 0.4/10=0.04. the answer is 0.4 is 10 times as much as 0.04Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>
