Translate this into symbols:  27 - 1.5x  is equal to or less than 36.  Find x.

Add 1.5x to both sides, so as to make the coefficient of x positive:

27 = 36 + 1.5x, or    -9 = 1.5x,    or x = -6              but also
                                                        x > -6

Check:  let x = -6.   Is the given equation then true? 

27 = 36 + 1.5(-6) => -9 = -9?  Yes.

Check:  let x > -6.  Is  <span>Twenty-seven minus 1.5  of a number (x)  not more than 36?                      27 - 1.5(0) not more than 36?  True.

Thus, x is equal to or greater than -6.</span>

For the equation 3x - 5y = -3, what is the value ofy when x is 1?<br> 6/5<br> -6/5<br> 5/6
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

y = 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5y = -3

Let x =1

3(1) - 5y = -3

3-5y = -3

Subtract 3 from each side

3-3-5y = -3-3

-5y = -6

Divide each side by -5

-5y/-5 = -6/-5

y = 6/5

What is 123.5 as a fraction?
Alex787 [66]
123 5/10 becuase everything on the left side of the dcimal is a whole number and everything on the right side is a fraction. The 5 is in the 10 place so the denominator would be 10 and the numerator would be 5. Your answer is 123 5/10 or simplified, 123 1/2
