Answer:
h = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Try to make the left hand side and the right hand side equal. By dividing like
h = (-27x+72)/(3x-8)
= [-9(3x-8)]/(3x-8)
= -9
When both sides are equal, you can't find the value of x as there are infinitely many solutions of x.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the amount of money in the second piggy back
We assume that the second piggy bank has MORE than the piggy bank with $7.31 in it:
x - 7.31 ≤ 10
<u>Solution</u>
Add 7.31 to both sides: x - 7.31 + 7.31 ≤ 10 + 7.31
⇒ x ≤ 17.31
