Answer:
Jana had 8 oranges, and Jordan had 15 oranges.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, identify what you know:
1) In total, Jana and Jordan had 23 oranges.
2) Jana had 7 less oranges than Jordan.
We can create a formula, where x equals the number of oranges Jana has.
23 = x + (x + 7)
16 = x + x (subtracted 7 from both sides)
x = 8 (divided both sides by 2)
So, now we know Jana had 8 oranges, which is 7 less than Jordan.
8 + 7 = ?
? = 15
Jana had 8 oranges, while Jordan had 15, for a total of 23 oranges.
The solution is y < -1/5
In order to find the answer to this problem, follow the order of operations for solving equations/inequalities.
444 + 555y < 333 -----> Subtract 444 from both sides
555y < -111 -----> Divide both sides by 555
y < -1/5
2.50-2.00=0.5
2.50/0.5= 5 = 100%
2.00/0.5=4 = 80%
100-80= 20%
