The complete version of question:

<em>Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that number and 26. What is the solution of this problem.</em>

Answer:

5\left(x+27\right)\ge \:6\left(x+26\right)\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x\le \:-21\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:(-\infty \:,\:-21]\end{bmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

As the description of the statement is:

'<em>Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that number and 26'.</em>

<em />

As

  • <em>Five times the sum of a number and 27  </em>is written as: 5(x + 27)
  • <em>greater than or equal </em>is written as:  \geq
  • <em>six times the sum of that number and 26'  </em>is written as: 6(x + 26)

so lets combine the whole statement:

<em />5\left(x\:+\:27\right)\ge \:6\left(x\:+\:26\right)<em />

solving

<em />5\left(x\:+\:27\right)\ge \:6\left(x\:+\:26\right)<em />

<em />5x+135\ge \:6x+156<em />

<em />5x+135-135\ge \:6x+156-135<em />

<em />5x\ge \:6x+21<em />

<em />5x-6x\ge \:6x+21-6x<em />

<em />-x\ge \:21<em />

<em />\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}<em />

<em />\left(-x\right)\left(-1\right)\le \:21\left(-1\right)<em />

<em />x\le \:-21<em />

Therefore,

5\left(x+27\right)\ge \:6\left(x+26\right)\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x\le \:-21\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:(-\infty \:,\:-21]\end{bmatrix}

There are 6 flavors of candy in a bag. The probability of randomly selecting strawberry is 1/4, lime is 3/16, cherry is 1/8, and
Iteru [2.4K]
The answer is 3/8. You can find a common denominator of 64 among all of the fractions. From this, you can find how many orange candies there are. There is 64 candies, and 40 of them are other flavors, so there's 24 orange candies. You can create the fraction 24/64 and simplify it down to 3/8.
