Over which interval(s) is the function decreasing?
Let the smaller number be x.
Given, the larger number is 7 times the smaller number.
So, the larger number = 7x.
Given, 3 times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number.
So we can write the equation as,



Now we have to move 4x to the left side by subtracting 4x from both sides.



To get x, we will divide both sides by 17. We will get,


So the smaller number = 
The larger number =
= 
So we have got the required numbers.
Smaller number =
and larger number =
.
Answer:
136+ m ≥ 189 is the required inequality : m: The earning in 4th week
Arthur needs to earn AT LEAST $53 in the fourth week to buy the coat which costs at least $189.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount earned by Arthur in first 3 weeks = $136
The amount needed to buy a coat = AT LEAST $189
Let us assume the amount Arthur needs to earn more to buy coat = $m
⇒ $ 136 + Amount Earned in 4th week ≥ $189
⇒ 136+ m ≥ 189
The above equation is the NEEDED inequality of the given situation.
Now, solving for the value of m, we get:
136+ m ≥ 189
⇒ m ≥ 189 - 136 = 53
or, m ≥ $53
Hence, Arthur needs to earn AT LEAST $53 in the fourth week to buy the coat which costs at least 189.
