<span>If the nemesis has "7/8 of her cats plus 2" it can be written like this: 7/8 x + 2 = x, where x is the number of the cats. After that we can solve the equation. x - 7/8 x = 2; 1/8 x = 2; x = 2 : 1/8 = 2 * 8 = 16. Answer: The nemesis has 16 cats.</span>
Let's make the inequality.
The sum of twice a number and 2. We're adding and multiply. X will be the number. 2x+2
Is greater than 4. We'll be using the greater than sign. >4; let's put it together.
2x+2>4; let's solve. First by subtracting two on both sides. 2x>2; let's divide by 2. x>1
So, the inequality is 2x+2>4. To solve it, it is x>1.
Answer: 69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original employee be x , this means that
116% of x = 80
= 80
116x = 8000
divide through by 116
x = 8000/116
x = 68.96551724
Since we are dealing with employees , therefore x ≈ 69
This means that there were 69 employees originally
