Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
5x-3>7
+3 to both sides
5x>10
divide 5 to both sides
x>2
The best way to answer this question is to set up the first sentence as a ratio of large bandages to total bandages. You would write 5 large bandages to 7 total bandages to 7 total bandages. Then you would make this equivalent to x number of large bandages to 60 total. It would look like this 5:7 = x:60. You could use cross products to multiply 60 by 5 to get 300. 7 times x also should equal 300. Unfortunately, this example will not leave us with a whole number of bandages, but 300/7 is a repeating decimal or a mixed number (42 6/7 large bandages).
Answer:
x = -1 ± √6 / 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve
+ 2x = 1
move 1 to the left side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.
+ 2x - 1 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.
-b±
/ 2a
Substitute the values a = 5 , b = 2, and c = -1 into the quadratic formula and solve for x
-2±
/ 2 ⋅ 5
Simplify.
x = -2 ± 2
/ 10
x = -1 ±
/ 5
Exact Form:
x = -1 ±
