3(2-b)<10-3(b-6)
6-b<5(b-6)
6-b<5b-30
Let's make "b".......2
6-(2)<5(2)-30
4<10-30
4<-20
In this case, this is a false statement. You can make "b" any number and I chose 2. I hope this helped!

First you distribut the 3 into (2-b)
then distribute -3 into (b-6)
to get
6-3b<10-3b+18

then simplify

-3b+3b>10+18-6

0>22

You and your friend are selling tickets to a charity event. you sell 12 adult tickets and 6 student tickets for $138. your frien

mr Goodwill [35]

Let's say the cost of student tickets is x and the cost of adult tickets is y. Then:

(1) 12y + 6x = 138
(2) 5y + 11x = 100

If we rearrange equation (1) we get:
12y = 138 - 6x
Now divide each side by 12:
y = 11.5 - 0.5x

We can now substitute this into equation (2):

5(11.5 - 0.5x) + 11x = 100
57.5 - 2.5x + 11x = 100
8.5x = 42.5
x = 5, therefor the cost of a student ticket is $5.00

In a parallelogram, if the measure of y is 32 degrees what is the measure of w

alekssr [168]

Talking about a parallelogram, we know that:
opposite sides and angles are congruent
in the picture below:
∠A = ∠C
AD = BC
if one angle is right, then the rest are right as well (making it a rectangle/square)
The consecutive angles are supplementary (meaning they add up to 180)
A + D = 180°

If y and w are consecutive angles, then
w = 180 - 32
=148°
If they are opposite angles, w = 32° (congruent angles)
