x+2(x+1)=35

x+2x+2=35

3x=35-2=33

x=33/3=11

smaller number=11

larger number=11+1=12

Jamal bought a diamond ring at a 20% discount. He paid $2640 for the ring. Naomi bought a similar ring but was given a discount

Fudgin [204]

Answer: 72%

Step-by-step explanation:

Set Jamal's original ring price = x

$x - x(0.2) = 2640\\x(1-0.2)=2640\\x(0.8)=2640\\x=\frac{2640}{0.8}=3300$

Jamal's original ring price = $3300

Set Naomi's discount = y

$3300-3300(y)=924\\=3300(1-y)=924\\1-y=\frac{924}{3300} \\-y=\frac{924}{3300} -1\\y=1-\frac{924}{3300}=1-0.28=0.72$

Naomi's discount is 0.72 = 72%

For which inequality would x = 8 not be a solution?

Naya [18.7K]

Put the value of x to the inequality:

$4x+3 > 0\\L=4(8)+3=32+3=35;\qquad R=0;\qquad L > R\ CORRECT\\\\9x-5 < 100\\L=5(8)-5=40-5=35;\qquad R=100;\qquad 35 < 100\ CORRECT\\\\x+4\leq10\\L=8+4=12;\qquad R=10;\qquad 12 > 10\ INCORECT (\leq)\\\\72\div x\geq4\\L=72\div 8=9;\qquad R=4;\qquad 9\geq4\ CORRECT$
