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.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

36 cups of Chex total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, he will obviously be using 12 cups of pretzels, so let's set that aside. For every cup of pretzels, there are 3 cups of chex. So, multiply 3x12. That will give you how much chex you will need.

Segment addition with variables
oksian1 [2.3K]

<em>x equals 22</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

____________________________________________

The Segment Postulate states the following:

<em>Given two end points A and B, a third point C lines on the segment AB if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation:</em>

\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB}

____________________________________________

From the figure:

\overline{AC}=8+x \\ \\ \overline{CB}=10 \\ \\ \overline{AB}=40

Our goal is to find x:

\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB} \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ 40=(8+x)+10 \\ \\ 18+x=40 \\ \\ Subtracting \ 18 \ from \ both \ sides: \\ \\ 18-18+x=40-18 \\ \\ \boxed{x=22}
