Answer:
Let's say that x is sam's age and y is Amy's age
x=y-4
and five years ago:
x-5=(y-5)/2
y-4-5=(y-5)/2
2y-18=y-5
y=13
x=9
then:
sam's age is 9 and Amy's age is 13
The answer choice which represents the solution to the inequality as given in the task content is; x>-2 or x≤ 1.
<h3>What is the solution of the give complex inequality?</h3>
On this note, it follows that the inequalities can be solved individually as follows;
-4 < 3x +2
-6 < 3x
x > -2
Also, 3x +2 ≤ 5
3x ≤ 3
x ≤ 1.
Ultimately, the correct answer choice is; Choice C; x>-2 or x≤ 1.

I don't agree with his statement. The first part says that he was paid $9.20 for the first 40 hours so we multiply them (9.20 x 40) to get 368. Then it says that he was paid 1.5 times that rate for every hour after that. The rate is "$9.20 per hour" so you find 1.5 times $9.20. You multiply $9.20 by 1.5 to get $13.80 per hour. Now you have to find how much money he got after the initial 40 hours. It says he worked 42.25 hours, and we already figured out how much money he got the first 40 hours ($368). So for the remaining 2.25 hours, Mr.Evens is paid $13.80 an hour. So we multiply 2.25 by $13.80 to get $31.05. To find out the total amount of money accumulated, we add. $368 + $31.05 is $399.05 which means that Mr.Evens is not correct. Hope this helped :]

Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of child tickets sold.
Cost of x child tickets is x * 5.30 = 5.3x.
"three times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold"
Number of adult tickets sold: 3x
Cost of 3x adult tickets is 3x * 8.40 = 25.2x
Cost of all tickets is 5.3x + 25.2x = 30.5x
Cost of all tickets is $1189.50
30.5x = 1189.5
x = 1189.5/30.5
x = 39
