If one cat eats 1/4 of a tin per day then two cats eat 1/2 of a tin per day.

We have 9 tins so if each day cats eat 1/2 we have to divide 9 with 1/2 and we get 18 which is for how many days she can feed the cats until she runs out of food.

Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Sally has 2 cats that each eat 1/4 of a tin of food each day, that means that the cats are eating 1/2 tin each day.

If the cats eat 1/2 each day, that means 1 can will last the cats 2 days.

If Sally buys 9 cans, that means she will cat food for 18 days.

1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2

1/2 per day = 1 tin every 2 days

9 tins x 2 days = 18 total days of food

Please anyone help me answer this question am giving the brainliest

Answer:

(-3/2x+1) + (3/x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dont put the answer in parenthesis, I just did that to seprate it so it was easier to read. If you need it to be put in word form for it to be easier for you to understand, its "negative three divided by two x plus one, plus 3 divided by x minus 1"

First, rewrite the expression as 3x+6/2x^2+x-2x-1

Then, factor the expression, 3x+6/x*(2x+1)-(2x+1) (*=multiply)

Then, write a new fraction for each factor in the denominator, then write a new fraction, 3x+6/(2x+1)*(x-1) to (A)/2x+1 + B/x-1)

Then write terms in the numerators, for now we will use A and B.

Now we set the sum of the fractions equal to the original fraction.

3x+6/(2x+1)*(x-1) = A)/2x+1 + B/x-1).

Then reorder and group the terms, giving you 3x+6=(A+2B)x+(-A+B).

Now equate the coefficiants, {6= -A+B, 3= A+2B

Then substitute back, (A, B)=(-3, 3)

Now finally, just rewrite the fraction. (-3/2x+1) + (3/x-1)

Hope this helps! Sorry its kind of long.

28:solve: PLEASE HELP -0.25x+1.75x<-1.75+2.5x. (round your answer to the nearest hundredth)

Lena [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.25x+1.75x<-1.75+2.5 x

sift terms containing x to right and constant term to left

1.75<2.5 x+0.25x-1.75 x

1.75<2.75x-1.75x

1.75<1.00 x

or 1.75 <x

or x>1.75

1 . Solve 4x + 5 > 5x − 2 for x.

Kobotan [32]

I will do number 1 only. You can then use my solution steps to do the rest.

Solve 4x + 5 > 5x − 2 for x.

4x + 5 > 5x − 2

4x - 5x > - 2 - 5

-x > -7

Dividing both sides by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. In other words, the sign > becomes < in the reply.

-x/-1 < -7/-1

x < 7

Answer: x < 7

The answer here means that whatever the value of x is for question 1, it must be less than 7.

You finish.
