Subtract 9 from each side of the equation. so you would get 1<x. meaning that any number larger then 1 would correctly solve the equation.
Greetings!
"<span>What is 1556 rounded to the nearest thousand?"...
The thousand place value number is in bold: 1556.
Since the number to the right of the bold number is 5 or greater, we round up.
1556 rounded from the thousand place value is 2000.
Hope this helps.

4c + 5h = 650 and
5c + 6h = 800 where c are chefs, h are helpers
Start by finding an expression for c
4c + 5h = 650
4c = 650 -5h
c = (650- 5h)/4
Then substitute that into the second equation and solve for a number value for h
5 (650-5h)/4 + 6h = 800
(3250-25h)/4 + 6h = 800
Multiply both sides by 4
3250-25h + 24h = 3200
-h = -50
h = 50
Take that 50 and substitute it into the expression we have for c to get a number value for c
C= 650-5(50)/4
C = 650-250/4
C = 400/4
C= 100
Check your first equations, substituting $50 for the helpers and $100 for the chefs.
4 (100) + 5(50) =
400 + 250 = 650
5(100) + 6(50) =
500 + 300 = 800
Answer:
on the number line make an open circle at 80 (am open circle is this: ○) and connect that to an arrow that points back to 0 and the negative numbers. It doesn't matter how far back as long as you make it an arrow
