Three times a number =   3x

Increased by 8 =               + 8

So far we have:  3x + 8

no more than =    <=  

the number decreased by 4 =  x -4

Put it all together and we have:

3x + 8 <= x - 4

Solve for x

3x + 8 <= x - 4

3x - x <= -4 - 8

2x <= -12

2x / 2 <= -12 / 2

x <= -6

-6 is the number / answer.

g A shopping center includes a grocery store and a drug store. One%E2%80%8B afternoon, a total of 200 people visited the shoppin
QveST [7]

Answer:

a) 179 people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store.

b) 21 people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to treat these events as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Set A: Shopped at the grocery store

Set B: Shoped at the drug store.

121 shopped at the grocery store:

This means that A = 121

91 shopped at the drug store:

This means that B = 91

33 shopped at both businesses.

This means that A \cap B = 33

a) How many people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store?

This is

A \cup B = A + B - (A \cap B)

With the values given in the exercise.

A \cup B = A + B - (A \cap B) = 121 + 91 - 33 = 179

179 people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store.

b) How many people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store?

179 of 200 shopped in at least one. So 200 - 179 = 21 shopped at neither.

21 people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store

I NEED HELP WITH ME MATH
ruslelena [56]

ok so lets start of with the fact that the whole thing is 21 units.

So we do 21-9=12 so then we now know that the rectangle is 12 so then we do 12*8 units which is= 96 . Now the triangles. so the first one we know that its 8*3 and times it by 1/2 because two triangles is equal to a rectangle so the first triangle is 12 and now the second. its 9-3= 6 then its 6*8*1/2 which is equal to 24 so now the final answer is

96+12+24 which is equal to 132 so i'm guessing it 132 square units
