Three-fourths of a number increased by one-half

= 3/4 x + 1/2

So three-fourths of a number increased by one-half is equal to fourteen:

3/4 x + 1/2 = 14

Multiply both sides by 4

3x + 2 = 56

Subtract 2 from both sides

3x = 54

Divide both sides by 3

x = 18

Answer: The number is 18

Answer:

X= 5/12 + 1/24y

Y= -10 + 29x

Step-by-step explanation:

2(10- 24x)+ 2y 2(10- 24x)+ 2y

20 - 48x +2y 20 - 48x +2y

48x =20 +2y -2y = 20- 48x

Armando read 20 pages of his 200-page book in 4 hours. At this rate, how long will it take him to read the entire book? (5 point

denis-greek [22]

The answer is B:40 hours. You take 200 divided by 20 to get 10 (the amount of 20 page sections he needs to read) and then multiply 10 by 4 (the speed he reads).

Inequality Choose all answers that apply

Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

Option A; $m \leq\frac{3}{5}$

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

We can use inverse operations to solve for 'm'.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Solving for 'm':}}\\\\5m+1\leq4\\--------\\\rightarrow 5m + 1 - 1 \leq 4 - 1\\\\\rightarrow 5m\leq3\\\\\rightarrow \frac{5m\leq3}{5}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{m\leq\frac{3}{5}}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Any number that is less than or equal to the value of three-fifths would work.

The option that is less than or equal to (3/5) is option A.

Assuming that there are more options than the options shown, choose the numbers that are less than or equal to (3/5).

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
