Answer:
2.25 gallons of gas in each can
Step-by-step explanation:
9/4=2.25
Answer:
x < -3/4 OR x>16/5
Step-by-step explanation:
5x – 4 > 12 OR 12x+5 < -4
Solve the parts separately and then put back together
5x – 4 > 12
Add 4 to each side
5x-4+4>12+4
5x >16
Divide each side by 5
5x/5>16/5
x > 16/5
12x+5 < -4
Subtract 5 from each side
12x+5-5<-4-5
12x<-9
Divide each side by 12
12x<-9/12
x <-3/4
Put back together
x < -3/4 OR x>16/5
Give me the standard form of this equation. You want to keep x coefficient positive.
Seeing as they’re asking us only the total amount of ribbon (not the amount of just red or just yellow ribbon), all we have to do is add these two together.
512+212 = 724, so she used 724ft of ribbon in total (red + yellow). (I really don’t know why she would need that much, but hey, that’s her business, I guess :) )
