Answer:
Step-x ≤ 3
Given
2(4 + 2x) ≥ 5x + 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
8 + 4x ≥ 5x + 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
8 ≥ x + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
3 ≥ x , hence
x ≤ 3by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
Set up a proprtion and cross multiply.
18/7.5=22/4x+1
7.5×22=18 (4x+1)
165=72x+18
147=72x
x=2.04
