Mathematics
1 answer:
sasho [114]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x>7 or x ≤ -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the 1st inequality

-6x +14 < -28 --------------- (Collect like terms)

-6x < -28 - 14

-6x < - 42 -------------------- (Divide both sides by -6)

Note: If you decide an inequality expression by a negative value, the inequality sign changes)

-6x/-6 > -42/-6

x > 7

Solving the 2nd inequality

9x + 15 ≤ −12 ----------- (Collect like terms)

9x ≤ −12 - 15

9x ≤ −27 ------------------(Divide both sides by 9)

9

9x/9 ≤ −27/9

x ≤ -3

Bring both results together, we get

x>7 or x ≤ -3

The final result is complex (i.e. can't be combined together).

Marcella bought a 25-ounce bottle of olive for $5.88. She used 60% of the olive in two weeks. Which of the following is the cost
sergij07 [2.7K]
Aprox.$3.52. if you ever need to find the percentage of something you just times it by the fraction. e.g. 60% of 5 = 5x0.6. so all you need to do to figure this out is to find 60% of 5.88 which is  apporxamitely 3.52

Jonathan has 3/4 pound of grapes. How many 1/8 pound servings can he make from his grapes.
pentagon [3]
6 servings. 1/8 +1/8 is 2/8 or 1/4 of a pound. Meaning that after 2 serving we still have only 1/4 of the amount of grapes leaving us with 2/4 more. So we would need 4 more 1/8’s making it a total of 6 servings. 1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8=6/8 or simplified 3/4.
