Isolate the x in both cases. What you do to one side, you do to the other.
11x + 4 < 15
Subtract 4 from both sides
11x + 4 (-4) < 15 (-4)
11x < 11
isolate the x, divide 11 from both sides
11x/11 < 11/11
x< 1
x < 1 is your answer for the first one
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, isolate the x.
12x - 7 > -25
Add 7 to both sides
12x - 7 (+7) > -25 (+7)
12x > -18
Isolate the x, divide 12 from both sides
12x/12 > -18/12
x > -1.5 is your answer for the second one.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I always like to use the mean if I can. In this data set, it's probably not a very good idea. Too much weight is given to that 7.2 and the two 3.2s.
I would choose the median, because the mode is the same answer and that's a good enough reason for choosing anything. 2 out 3 isn't bad as they say in Baseball.
Bank balance after 15 years is $950
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the simple interest on the principal amount using the formula SI = PRT/100 where Principal (P) = $500, Rate of Interest (R) = 6% and Time(T) = 15 years
⇒ SI = 500 × 6 × 15/100 = $450
- Step 2: Find total amount using the formula Amount = P + SI
⇒ Amount = 500 + 450 = $950
Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
75 = 4x + 7
68 = 4x
x = 17
You can use Substitution to solve this problem:
4x-y=20
-y=-4x+20
y=4x-20
Now you have two equations, and you use the first one to substitute into the second one.
y=4x-20 and -2x-2y=10
-2x-2(4x-20)=10
-2x-8x+40=10
-10x+40=10
-10x=-30
-x=-3
x=3
Now that we have figured out what x is, we can substitute x in to one of the equations to figure out y.
4x-y=20 x=3
4(3)-y=20
12-y=20
-y=8
y=-8
<em><u>So your answer would be x=3 and y=-8</u></em>
