Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+\frac{5}{8}\geq 4x-\frac{1}{2}$

Subtract 5/8 on both sides

To subtract 5/8 we make the denominators same

$3x\geq 4x-\frac{1*4}{2*4}-\frac{5}{8}$

Addition or Subtraction property of order is used

$3x\geq 4x-\frac{9}{8}$

Subtract 4x on both sides

Addition or Subtraction property of order is used

$-x\geq -\frac{9}{8}$

Now divide both sides by -1

Multiplication or Division property of order is used

$\frac{-x}{-1} \geq \frac{-\frac{9}{8}}{-1}$

Multiplication or Division property of order is used

$x\leq \frac{9}{8}$

Answer:

56.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

mean = sum / count, with count being the amount of papers corrected in this case. We want to find the sum of all the papers as well as the count to figure out the mean of all papers.

For Tony's papers,

mean = sum / count

50 = sum / 40

multiply both sides by 40 to isolate the sum

sum = 50 * 40 = 2000

For Alice's papers,

mean = sum / count

70 = sum / 20

multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the sum

70 * 20 = sum = 1400

The total sum of all 60 papers is equal to the sum of 40 papers + the sum of the remaining 20 papers, or 2000 + 1400 = 3400. The mean of the 60 papers is therefore

mean = sum / count

mean = 3400/60 ≈ 56.7

If the total income generated from gasoline for AER was $408 million how much would be the cost for a barrel of gasoline, gasoli

Mazyrski [523]

The problem statement appears to be trying to tell you that 60 million barrels of crude were processed, resulting in 34% of that volume being turned into gasoline, which was then sold for a total of $408 million. You are asked for the revenue associated with 1 barrel of gasoline.

($408·10^6)/(60·10^6 bbl × 0.34) = $408/(20.4 bbl) = $20/bbl

The income from one barrel of gasoline is $20.00.

Answer:

d) intersecting, but not perpendicular lines

Step-by-step explanation:

Changing the sign of one of the variable terms causes the line to be reflected across one of the axes. The slope is the opposite of what it was. Since the original slope was not 1 or -1, the resulting line is not perpendicular to it. Lines with different slopes will be intersecting.

The two lines are intersecting, but not perpendicular.
