Answer:
3x-5> 6x- 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the blue ribbons be denoted by the letter x.
Then according to the given condition
3 times the blue ribbons = 3x
Decreased by 5 = 3x-5
is greater than
6 times the blue ribbons = 6x
decreased by 14 = 6x-14
Putting in one line
3x-5> 6x- 14
Solving the inequality
3x-5> 6x- 14
Taking both sides positive as in modulus
14-5 > 6x-3x
9> 3x
9/3 > x
3> x
Again solving for inequality
3x-5> 6x- 14
Taking one side negative that is mod
3x-5> -6x + 14
3x+ 6x > 14+5
9x> 19
x > 19/9
x > 2.11
so x lies between 2 and 3
3 > x > 2.11
Now putting the values for x= 19
3x-5> 6x- 14
57-5> 114-14
52 > 100 False
Now putting the values for x= 3
3x-5> 6x- 14
9-5> 18-14
4>4 False
Now putting the values for x= 2
3x-5> 6x- 14
6-5> 12-14
1> -2 True
There are 2 blue ribbons
