Answer: x ≥ 6
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
12 less <u>than</u> 5 times a number ≥ 6 more <u>than</u> twice the number
5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6
Note: the word "than" switches the order of the terms.
5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6
<u>-2x +12</u> <u>-2x +12 </u>
3x ≥ 18
<u>÷3 </u> <u> ÷3 </u>
x ≥ 6
Graph: 6 -----------→ the dot is closed (filled in) since it is "equal to"
First find average
(5+5+5+5+7+9)/6=6
now see how much they each are differnt
5 to 6 is 1
5 to 6 is 1
5 to 6 is 1
5 to 6 is 1
7 to 6 is 1
9 to 6 is 3
average those
(1+1+1+1+1+3)/6=8/6=4/3=1.333
answer is 1.33
The answer is 2 i hope this helps
Remember to follow PEMDAS, and to only combine terms with like variables.
First, distribute the 2 to all terms within the parenthesis:
2(2p + 4t) = 2(2p) + 2(4t) = 4p + 8t
3 + 4p + 8t, or (D), is your answer choice, for it cannot be simplified anymore.
