In this question, you would have to solve the inequality to find your solution.

Solve:

5 - 3x > 35

subtract 5 from both sides

-3x > 30

divide both sides by -3, while also flipping the inequality

x < -10

x < -10 is the same as -10 > x

So the correct solution set would be -10 > x

Answer:

-10 > x

The fifth graders are planning a pizza party. Each fifth grader will eat two slices of pizza with a favorite topping. One-half o

icang [17]

32 students choose a favorite topping for their slices.

Let x be the total number of students.

1/2 of the total students, or 1/2x, choose pepperoni.
1/4 of the total students, or 1/4x, choose extra cheese.
1/8 of the total students, or 1/8x, choose sausage.
4 students choose mushrooms.

We know that together, these equal the total number of students, x:
1/2x+1/4x+1/8x+4=x

We will use 8 as the common denominator:
4/8x+2/8x+1/8x+4=x

Combining like terms:
7/8x+4=x

Subtract 7/8x from both sides:
7/8x+4-7/8x=x-7/8x
4=1x-7/8x
4=1/8x

Divide both sides by 1/8:
4÷(1/8) = 1/8x÷(1/8)
4/1÷(1/8) = x
4/1×8/1 = x
32/1 = x
32 = x

Does 2 1/3-1 3/4 need require renaming

ANEK [815]

Answer:

$\frac{7}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 \frac{1}{3} - 1 \frac{3}{4}$

The fractions above are known as mixed numbers (that is, fractions that contain the combination of a whole number and proper fraction). The mixed numbers can equally be renamed as improper fractions. However, renaming can only occur the the mixed numbers are being transformed as below:

$\frac{7}{3} - \frac{7}{4}$

The transformation occur through a simple approach thus: for the first mixed number; 2 1/3 = 2 multiplied by 3 plus 1 divide by 3 equals 7/3. Similarly, mixed number 1 3/4 is transformed by this: 1 multiplied by 4 plus 3 divide by 4 equals 7/4.

Simplifying further to arrive at final result implies,

$\frac{7}{3} - \frac{7}{4}$

Take the LCM of the denominators (4 × 3 =12) and simplify thus:

$= \frac{28 - 21}{12}$

$= \frac{7}{12}$
