Looks fishy to me, the way this problem combines <, = and > symbols.

But anyway. Subtract 3x from both sides. You'll get

5 < x = 2 > 0 2 > 0 is true, but that's a different type of math problem (true or false). If you decide to substitute '1' for 2 > 0, then the "1" says "TRUE."

Then 5 < x = true, so you must find x values that are larger than 5.

That would be (5, infinity)

Please go back and ensure that you have copied down the original problem exactly as it appears.

There are five boys to every nine girls in an introductory engineering course .if there are 364 students enrolled in the course

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

234

Step-by-step explanation:

So what we know is that

5x+9x= students

This equation is saying that for every 5 boys there are 9 girls

we can then plug in 364 for the number of students and add like terms

This means that 14x=364

this means that x=26

This means that there are 26 sets of 5 boys and 9 girls

this means that there are

130 boys

234 girls
