Crank

Answer:

The required inequality is $40-6b\leq 10$ .

Jhon can buy at most 5 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Part(A)

Let b represent the number of books John buys.

He wants at least $10 in his savings account which means if we subtract the cost of books from $40 we have at least $10 left.

$40-6b\leq 10$

The required inequality is $40-6b\leq 10$ .

Part(B)

$40-6b\leq 10$

$-6b\leq 10-40$

$b \leq\frac{30}{6}$

$b\leq 5$

Part(C): Jhon can buy at most 5 books.

How do you work this problem? 5 - 2x = 0

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x by adding 2x to both sides, obtaining: 5 - 2x + 2x = 2x. Then 5 = 2x, and dividing both sides by 2 results in x = 5/2.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to create and algebraic equation for when Jill's weight will be equal to Paris's. If we take their current weight and then add the additional weight gain per month times the number of months, we can calculate the amount of time it will take for their weight to be equal by solving for m.

$120+10m=150+4m\\10m-4m=150-120\\6m=30\\m=5$
