Answer:
2x-2<1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
when the problem says "two less than" it means we are subtracting 2 from something, in this case, that something is "twice a number" as the problem states. So we would write 2x where x is a variable that represents any number so we have 2x-2<1/2.
The CPI increased from 29.6 to 82.4.
The rate of increase, is:
82.4/29.6 = 2.78
Now multiply this rate to the $0.14 price of grapes from 1960.
$0.14 x 2.78 = $0.39
Now to get the amount of increase subtract the new price from the original price:
$0.39 - $0.14 = $0.25 increase.
9/10 is the answer. Basic elementary math
I think the answer is -20
Are they supposed to be quadratic equations? Is it x^2 +3x -4 etc?
