Take the first 2 and take out -7x2. bringing it to (-7x2)(x-3)+(3x-9)
then take out 3 on the right side.
-7x^2 (x-3)+3 (x-3)
factors to (3-7x2)(x-3)
5x + 3 ≥ 10
3 is adding on the left, then it will subtract on the right
5x ≥ 10 -3
5x ≥ 7
5 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right
x ≥ 7/5
x ≥ 1.4
Then, the smallest integer value of x is 2
If order doesn't matter then the number of possible choices is:
Yes because when you turn into a decimal it's 7.2
The equation is 4 meatballs for every adult and 3 for every child. Replace a and c and solve:
M = 4(20) + 2(8)
M = 80 + 16
M = 96
They need 96 meatballs.
