<span>Let x = 0.5333333333 ...

So 100x = 53.3333333333 ...
and 10x = 5.3333333333 ...
---------------------------------
90x = 53 – 5 = 48.

So x = 48/90 = 8/15 after reduction to lowest terms (by factor of 6)
0.3333... = ⅓. and that 0.5 = ½.

So 0.533333... = 0.5 + 0.0333333...0.5 + 0.3333.../10 = 1/2 + (1/3)/10 = 1/2 + 1/30 = 16/30 = 8/15</span>

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$a + b \geq 30$

$b - a \geq 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The sum of the two positive integer a and b is at least 30, this means the sum of the two positive integer is 30 or greater than 30, so we write the inequalities as below.

$a + b \geq 30$

The difference of the two integers is at least 10, if b is the greater integer then we subtract integer a from integer b, so we write the inequality as below.

$b - a \geq 10$

Therefore, the following system of inequalities could represent the values of two positive integers a and b.

$a + b \geq 30$

$b - a \geq 10$
