3.5x-10>-3 add 10 to both sides
3.5x>7 divide both sides by 3.5
x>2
... now for the other inequality:
8x-9<39 add 9 to both sides
8x<48 divide both sides by 3
x<6
So we have x>2 and x<6, so the compound inequality is:
2<x<6 and this means that the solution set is:
x=(2, 6)
B) 14.
If you start with subtracting the 8 pages from 50, you get 42 remaining pages. Then it says 2/3 of the REMAINING pages so you divide 42 into thirds. 42/3=14. You want 2/3 of that, so you multiply the 14 by two to get 28 (it's like there are three piles of 14 pages and you want only 2 out of the three piles). So now you've used 28 pages + the original 8. You've used a TOTAL of 36 pages. Subtract 36 from 50 and you get 14 left.
He would spend $46.57, I think(I am not that good with rounding)
