Answer:

No, Carl can't go by taxi, sadly, and because he is poor. How I know is by first, making an inequality to solve this problem.  Let the variable x be the number of miles. The first inequality would be 0.50x+3<10. I you plug x for 15, the inequality would be ($0.50 * 15) + $3 <  $10. We need a less than sign (<) because Carl says the price has to be under and not equal to. Then we have to simplify it by multiplying 0.50 by 15. When you do that, you will get $7.5. If you put that back to the inequality, then it would be $7.5 + $3 < $10. After you do simple math and add, you will know that Carl is short of money by 50 cents. This shows why Carl does not have enough money , and has to take the bus.

Let the variable x be the number of miles. Then the problem can be modeled with the inequality 0.5x + 3 < 10,="" in="" which="">x is the number of miles. To solve, first subtract 3 from each side, then divide each side by 0.5.

There are blue, red and green pencils in the box—20 pencils total. There are 6 times more green pencils than blue pencils. There
lana [24]

Answer:

You have to take 15 pens to get at least one red pencil.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were one red and 6 green pens, there would be more red than green pens.

If there were 3 or more blue and thus 18 or more green pens, the number of pens would be over 20.

So there must be 2 blue, 12 green and thus 6 red pencils. So you have to take at least 15 pens to be sure that you got a red one.

Find the m&lt;bac, if m&lt;dec= 58 and m&lt;edc =43<br>a. 43<br>b. 58<br>c. 79<br>d. 101
mamaluj [8]
We are looking to figure out the size of m<CAB
Since line AB is parallel to the line CD, m<CAB corresponds to m<ECD which means the size of the angles equals
m<ECD can be found by using the fact that angles in a triangle add up to 180°,
hence, 180°-58°-43°=79°

The size of m<CAB is 79°
