John owes 15 dollars to Bill, then another 2 dollars to Joey. How much money does John have?
Since John has 0 dollars to give, he has (-15)+(-2) =-17 dollars (as 15+2=17, so the same can be applied negatively) as the first 17 dollars he gets has to be given to Bill and Joey
Let L and S represent the weights of large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to two equations:
.. 7L +9S = 273
.. 5L +3S = 141
You can solve these equations various ways. Using "elimination", we can multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation.
.. 3(5L +3S) -(7L +9S) = 3(141) -(273)
.. 8L = 150
.. L = 150/8 = 18.75
Then we can substitute into either equation to find S. Let's use the second one.
.. 5*18.75 +3S = 141
.. S = (141 -93.75)/3 = 15.75
A large box weighs 18.75 kg; a small box weighs 15.75 kg.
The answer is 88 5/6 . If you were stuck try turning the fractions into improper fractions and multiply both of them and later divide the numerator by the denominator to have a mixed number. You can later simplify the fraction to get 88 5/6. If you need help don't be afraid to tell me in the comments! Hope this helps :)
Well the P should probably be 4
Answer:
x > 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(3x - 5) < 2(3x + 4)
Divide both sides by 2.
-2(3x - 5) < 3x + 4
Distribute on the left side.
-6x + 10 < 3x + 4
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-9x + 10 < 4
Subtract 10 from both sides.
-9x < - 6
Divide both sides by -9. Remember that when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.
x > (-6)/(-9)
x > 6/9
x > 2/3
