Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Inequality</u>
3x + 1 < 10
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract 1 on both sides: 3x < 9
- Divide 3 on both sides: x < 3
Here we see that any value <em>x</em> smaller than 3 would work as a solution to the inequality.
Answer:
70 -20x = 60 -15x
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of money left on Josh's card is ...
70 -20x
The amount of money left on Jessica's card is ...
60 -15x
These amounts are the same when ...
70 -20x = 60 -15x
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The solution to this equation is ...
10 = 5x ⇒ x = 2 . . same amount after purchase of 2 pizzas
Eight *(a number) plus 5*(another number) is -13.
translates to:
8(x) + 5(y) = -13
The sum of (the number) and (the other number) is 1.
translates to:
(x) + (y) = 1
We have a system of two equations involving two unknowns: x and y.

We can easily solve the system using Substitution or Elimination. Let's use Elimination this time.
We'll multiply the second equation by -8 so that the x's match up.

When we add the equations together, the x's will fall out of the equation, summing to zero. The 5y and -8y will sum to -3y and the right hand side will sum to -21.

Divide by -3,

Plug back into one of your original equations to find the value of x,

Subtract 7,
