N is equal to 11 because 5-2n=17 would be changed into 2n-5=17 because it would be -17 if it was the original problem so that is why
For #1 you need 8 pounds of apples
Complete Question
You are organizing books on a shelf. Each book has a width of 3/4 inch. The number of shelves is 12.
Write and solve an inequality for the numbers of books b that can fit on the shelf.
Answer:
a) Inequality for the numbers of books b that can fit on the shelf
= b ≤ 3x/4
b) The numbers of books b that can fit on the shelf is b ≤ 9 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of books = b
Let us assume the number of shelves= x
Each book has a width of 3/4 inch.
Therefore,
b ≤ 3/4 × x
b ≤ 3x/4
If the number of the shelves is 12
Therefore, the number of books bis
b ≤ 3 × 12/4
b ≤ 9 books
it should be B
