Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving inequalities is easy, you just need to follow the standard rules of algebra. Also, when multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign is reversed.

Step 1: Divide by 5

x < 2

Step 2: Check

5(1) < 10

5 < 10✔️

Step 3: Check Again

Since an inequality has multiple solutions, it is important to check at least 2, to determine if the entire range of solutions is true.

5(-6) < 10

-30 < 10✔️

Step 4: Verified Answer

x < 2

I'm always happy to help :)

Eight people go to a movie. Adult tickets cost $15 and children's tickets cost $8

Reptile [31]

Answer: number of adults = 3, number of children = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of adults be x, and the number of children be y.

x + y = 8 , 15x + 8y = 85

1st equation x 8 = 8x + 8y = 64

$8x+8y-15x-8y = 64 - 85\\-7x = -21\\x=3$
