Inequalities and equations use similar steps to solve, but inequalities give a range of numbers that can represent the variable while an equation will give a direct answer.
Example:
4+5x=24
First you would subtract 4 or add the opposite of 4 from 24.
4+5x=24
+(-4) +(-4)
—————
5x=20
Then divide each side by 5 or multiply each side by the reciprocal of 5 to isolate the variable.
1/5*5x=20*1/5 (reciprocal)
X= 4
You would use the same steps in an inequality but end up with a different sign.
The answer is <span>2(–4y + 13) – 3y = –29
Step 1: Express </span><span>x from the second equation
Step 2: Substitute x into the first equation:
The system of equations is:
</span><span>2x – 3y = –29
x + 4y = 13
Step 1:
</span>The second equation is: x + 4y = 13
Rearrange it to get x: x = - 4y + 13
Step 2:
The first equation is: 2x – 3y = –29
The second equation is: x = - 4y + 13
Substitute x from the second equation into the first one:
2(-4y + 13) - 3y = -29
Therefore, the second choice is correct.
4/1 / 5/2 = 4/1 * 2/5 = 8/5
1 7/8 = 15/8
15/8 * 8/5 = 120/40 = 12/4 = 3 inches
shorter side should be 3 inches
Picture isn’t clear darling
