<h3><u>
The value of x is greater than the value of 3.</u></h3>
We can treat inequalities like standard algebraic equations.
7x - 9 > 2x + 6
<em><u>Add 9 to both sides.</u></em>
7x > 2x + 15
<em><u>Subtract 2x from both sides.</u></em>
5x > 15
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
x > 3
So what you would need to add to get -6 is -5-1 then your answer would be -6 hope this helps!

Answer:
Each student's contribution = $17
Each student will save $ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of the block of 5 tickets is $85.00.
Dividing the $ 85 by 5 would give the equal amount each would have to contribute.
$ 85/5=$ 17
Each will have to pay $ 17 to buy a block of 5 tickets for $85.00.
We can find the amount each will save by subtracting the amount to be shared by the 5 students from the amount paid by the 4 students.
They will save
$ 20-$17=
$3
Each of them will save $3 if they can get a fifth person to join them and the 5 people equally divide the price of the 5-ticket block.
