Answer:

X <= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x - 24<= -36

Make -3x the subject, by carrying -24 to the other side

Note: Moving -24 to the other side changes to + 24

-3x <= -36 + 24

-3x <= - 12

Minus cancels minus

3x <= 12

Divide both sides by 3,to get the value of x

3x/3 <= 12/3

x <= 12/3

x <= 4

Therefore, x equals to 4

Answer:

x ≥ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this inequality, we are going to follow the steps below;

first add 24 to both-side of the inequality

–3x – 24 ≤ –36

-3x - 24 + 24 ≤ -36 + 24

-24 + 24 will give us zero, hence our inequality becomes;

-3x ≤ -12

Divide both-side of the inequality by -3.

You should note that whenever you are dividing both-side of inequality by a negative sign, the inequality sign will change, if it is "≤" it becomes"≥" and if it is "≥" it becomes "≤".

-3x/-3 ≤ -12/-3

x ≥ 4

The Fun Guys game rental store charges an annual fee of $15 and charges $5.50 per game rented. The Game Bank charges an annual f

wolverine [178]

Find total cost at both stores.

Fun Guys cost= 15 +5.5.a
where a is no of games rental

Game Bank Cost= 31 +3.5.a
where a is no of games rental

Since cost is equal in both
Therefore
31 + 3.5.a= 15 + 5.5.a
->2.a=16
->a=8
Therefore after 8 game rentals cost is same in both stores. 
cost= 31+ 3.5.(8)=59

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of 1/2 and passes through point 0 , -2

S_A_V [24]

The general equation of a line is y = mx + b
m is given as 1/2, so we have:
$y=\frac{1}{2}x+b$
Plugging in the given values of x and y, we get:
-2 = 0 + b
Therefore b = -2, and the answer is:
$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$
