-1/2x < -12 ....multiply both sides by -2, and change inequality sign
x > -12 * -2
x > 24

All you need to do is divide -1/2 onto the other side.

-1/2x<-12

-12/ (-1/2)= 6 (a negative and a negative equals a positive)

Also, since you are dividing a negative, you flip the sign.

x>6

I hope this helps!

Dr. Brown did 6 experiments at 7AM. Dr. Rachal did 8 experiments at 6PM. They both had 564 tools each. Dr. Brown used 386 and Dr

devlian [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tools for both = 564.

Dr Brown used 386 tools for 6 experiments.

average number of tools per experiment used by Dr Brown = $\frac{386}{6}$

= 64 $\frac{1}{3}$

Dr Rachal used 236 tools for 8 experiments.

average number of tools per experiment used by Dr Rachal = $\frac{236}{8}$

= 29 $\frac{1}{2}$

i. The number of more experiment that can be done by Dr Brown = (564 - 386) ÷ (64 $\frac{1}{3}$ )

= 2.7668

Dr Brown can do two more experiments.

The number of more experiments that can be done by Dr Rachal = (564 - 236) ÷ (29 $\frac{1}{2}$ )

= 11.1186

Dr Rachal can do 11 more experiments.

ii. Number of tools left after Dr Brown's experiments = 564 - 386

= 178

Number of tools left after Dr Rachal's experiments = 564 - 236

= 328

The total cost of four pens and seven mechanical pencils is $13.25. The cost of each pencil is .75 cents. Write an equation to f

Dovator [93]

X = pens and y = pencils

4x + 7y = 13.25
y = 0.75

4x + 7(0.75) = 13.25
4x + 5.25 = 13.25
4x = 13.25 - 5.25
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2 <===so each pen cost 2 bucks
