Answer:
7.75
Step-by-step explanation:
You group like terms from the inequality above ie by making the x value stands alone and you can only do this by sending 14 to the left side of the inequality and 4x to the right side. This becomes 45-14 < 4x and that gives you 31 < 4x. Then you divide both side by the number attached to the variable 'x' ie 4. So 31/4 < 4x/4 making x > 31/4 which is 7.75
The answer is that she had 48. Set it up as an equation with x as the amount of money she started with. x - 30 = 3/8x. That says, in words, "the amount of money she started with minus 30 for the dress left her with 3/8 of the money she started with. Solve for x by adding 30 to both sides and subtracting 3/8 from 8/8x (8/8 = 1). 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8, so 5/8x = 30, multiply both sides by 8 to get 5x=240 and x = 48.
Micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of Jasmine
Micah = 5 inches shorter than 2 x Jasmine
Micah = 2 x Jasmine - 5 <em>(jasmine is 32 inches tall. Replace jasmine with 32)
</em>
Micah = 2 x 32 - 5
Micah = 64 - 5
Micah = 59
Micah is 59 inches tall
