Answer:
14400
Step-by-step explanation:
X - X × 75%=3600
X - X × 
= 3600
X - 
= 3600
= 3600
= 3600
X = 3600 × 4
X = 14400
Answer:
132 children and 88 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent the amount of kids and y represent the amount of adults.
since the problem says there was a total of 220 people at the fair an equation can be made
x+y=220
the problem tells that each childrens ticket was 1.5$ and each adult ticket was $4 and that a total of $550 was made that day, we can use the knowledge to make an equation:
1.5x + 4y = 550
using the equations we can make this systems of equations:
1.5x + 4y =550
x + y =220
solve the systems of equations by subracting y on both sides of th bottom equation:
x=220-y
since x is equivant to 220-y it can be substitued for x in the first equation to make this:
1.5(220-y)+4y =550
--solve for y--
y=88 - there were 88 adults
substute 88 for y in the second equation
x+88=220
--solve for x--
x=138 - there were 132 children
Answer:
-8 + x ≥ 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at your sentence:
The <u>sum of -8 and a number</u> is <u>at least 9 </u>what is the equation look like
Sum is the result of adding
At least 9 means that the number is 9 or greater.
So what you have here is an inequality expression:
Sum of -8 and a number
-8 + x
x here is the "number" since we do not know the value we will use "x" to represent that number.
At least 9
At least means that it is equal or greater, so we use this expression ≥
and so we use put that all together
-8 + x ≥ 9
