Answer:
6 times she can choose courses
3.5x-10>-3 add 10 to both sides
3.5x>7 divide both sides by 3.5
x>2
... now for the other inequality:
8x-9<39 add 9 to both sides
8x<48 divide both sides by 3
x<6
So we have x>2 and x<6, so the compound inequality is:
2<x<6 and this means that the solution set is:
x=(2, 6)
The numbers that can be expressed in the form of a fraction are called rational numbers. While that numbers that cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction are called irrational numbers.
is an irrational number, it cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction.
He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
