<span>x – 12 ≥ 18
Let's break down the sentence and create an inequality from it. We'll use X to represent the number.
"Twelve fewer than a number is at least 18."
The "Twelve fewer than a number" indicates subtraction, so let's do that.
X - 12
"is at least 18." would be a greater than or equal relationship. So we have
X - 12 ≥ 18
And we're done. The desired equation is:
x – 12 ≥ 18</span>
A) 1/3=33 1/3%
B) 2/3=66 2/3%
C) 1/6=16 2/3%
A) YOU CAN TURN THE FRACTION 1/3 INTO A DECIMAL WHICH WILL BE AROUND 0.333. THEN YOU TURN THE DECIMAL INTO A PERCENT. YOU CAN MOVE THE DECIMAL TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT. THAT GIVES YOU 33.3% OR 33 1/3% THIS ALSO APPLIES TO B BUT WITH 0.666 AND 66.6%
FOR C, YOU DO THE SAME. 1/6 AS A DECIMAL IS 1.666. YOU MOVE THE DECIMAL TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT. 16.6% OR 16 2/3%
HOPE THIS HELPED.
Answer is <span>C. 9x-2y=-40
hope that helps
because y = 9/2x +20 then 2y = 9x + 40 so 9x -2y = -40
