Yes, I do think that inequalities or equations are used more in everyday life.
Let x be your first alloy
2/5x+7/10(30-x)=1/2(30)
4x+210-7x=150
3x=60
x=20
So, you need 20 lbs of the first alloy, and 10 parts of the second to make 30 lbs of half iron and half silver alloy!

He can give at most 2 adult haircuts with the remaining time
<h3>How many adult haircuts at most can he give with the remaining time? </h3>
The inequality is given as:
0.75C + 1.25A <= 7
Also, we have
C = 5
Substitute C = 5 in 0.75C + 1.25A <= 7
0.75 * 5 + 1.25A <= 7
Evaluate the product
3.75 + 1.25A <= 7
Evaluate the like terms
1.25A <= 3.25
Divide by 1.25
A <= 2.6
Rewrite as
A < 3
Hence, he can give at most 2 adult haircuts with the remaining time

<u>Complete question</u>
Horace is a professional hair stylist. Let C represent the number of child haircuts and A represent the number of adult haircuts that Horace can give within 7 hours. 0.75C + 1.25A <= 7
Horace gave 5 child haircuts.
How many adult haircuts at most can he give with the remaining time?
Answer:
(x-4)(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find 2 numbers knowing sum (1) and product (-20). To find them, factor pairs of (-20) --> (-2,10) (-4,5). This sum is 1=b. Then, these 2 numbers are: - 4 and 5. Y=(x-4) (x+5). Hope this helped :)
