The solution to the given equation is x > 5.3
<h3>Solving linear inequality</h3>
Inequality are expression that are separated by an equal sign.
Given the inequality;
16(1/4 x - 1/2) > 24- 2x
Expand
4x - 8 > 24 -2x
Collect like terms
4x + 2x > 24 + 8
6x > 32
x > 32/6
x > 5.3
Hence the solution to the given equation is x > 5.3

Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1
Any questions or anything you would like me to clarify, feel free to ask :)
1 four inch cup and then the rest all add 0.5 in. so you would have 16 0.5 in. and 1 4 in. so 17 cups.
2/5 divided by 4/5 is equivalent to 2/5 multiplied by 5/4 (the reciprocal of 4/5)
(2/5) x (5/4) = 2/4 = 1/2
The answer is 1/2
