16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8. Write an inequality and solve it

Radda [10]

n > -6 is the inequality for 16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

Solution:

Given statement is:

16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

We have to write a inequality

From given statement,

16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

Let the number be "n"

Therefore,

16 plus 5 times "n" is more than "n" minus 8

Here, "plus" means addition and "minus" means subtraction and "times" means multiplication

Thus the statement is translated into inequality as:

$16 + 5n >n-8$

Simplify the inequality

$16 + 5n >n-8\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}16\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\16 + 5n -16 > n - 8 -16\\\\5n >n-24\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}n\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\5n-n>n-24-n\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\4n>-24\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4\\\\\frac{4n}{4}>\frac{-24}{4}\\\\n>-6$

Thus the soultion is n > -6

Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y ?

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Table C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Table A to D

Required

Which shows a proportional relationship

To do this, we make use of:

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

In table (A)

x = 2, y = 4

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

$k = \frac{4}{2}$

$k = 2$

x = 4, y = 9

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

$k = \frac{9}{4}$

$k = 2.25$

Both values of k are different. Hence, no proportional relationship

In table (B)

x = 3, y = 4

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

$k = \frac{4}{3}$

$k = 1.33$

x = 9, y = 16

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

$k = \frac{16}{9}$

$k = 1.78$

Both values of k are different. Hence, no proportional relationship

In table (C):

x = 4, y = 12

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

$k = \frac{12}{4}$

$k = 3$

x = 5, y = 15

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

$k = \frac{15}{5}$

$k = 3$

x = 6, y = 18

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

$k = \frac{18}{6}$

$k = 3$

This shows a proportional relationship because all values of k are the same for this table

If cp=rs 400, loss=10% find sp

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

cp = rs 400

loss = 10%

Then SP = 400 - 10% of 400

= 400 - 40

= 360

Therefore SP = Rs. 360

Graph the function rule. Tell whether the graph is continuous or discrete. The height h, in inches, of the juice in a 20-oz b

tangare [24]

The x-axis is the amount of juice because it is the independent equation, while the y-axis is the height. The range of the x-axis starts from 0 to the maximum 20 oz. The graph is shown in the attached picture. As shown, the graph is continuous.
