So,
We are trying to figure out when Grandpa Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
Let x represent the number of years before/after when G. Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
66 + x = 2(37 + x)
Distribute.
66 + x = 74 + 2x
Subtract x from both sides.
66 = 74 + x
Subtract 74 from both sides.
-8 = x
So 8 years ago, G. Lopez was twice as old as Dad. Let's check that.
66 - 8 = 58
37 = 8 = 29
29 * 2 = 58
58 = 58
It checks.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
7-(-5) = 7+5
7+5 = 12
7-(-5) = 12
5,280-1.333=
So what ever your answer was that is it do all of this +and- and division
(1/3) of (14-1/3) = (1/3) x (43/3) = (43/9) = about <em>(4 and 7/9) gallons</em>.
Answer:
Answer A represents this
x <= -3 ; x > 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate x on each of the inequalities:
4 x + 4 <= - 8
subtract 4 from both sides
4 x <= - 12
divide both sides by 4 to isolate x completely (notice 4 is positive, so there is NO flipping of the inequality symbol)
x <= -3
This inequality is represented by shading the left section of the number line starting at x = -3 (make sure you draw a SOLID dot to mae clear that the point x = -3 is also included in your drawing.
The other inequality:
11 x - 11 > 88
add 11 to both sides
11 x > 99
divide both sides by 11 to isolate x (notice again that 11 is a positive number, so the inequality doesn't change with the division)
x > 9
This inequality is represented by shadowing the right hand side of the number line starting at x = 9. Make sure you draw an EMPTY dot on the number 9 to indicate that x = 9 is NOT included.
