Solve for X .... -3(x-5)>18

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ilya [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x<-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We multiply by -1 of both sides and change the sense of inequality:

(-1)*(-3(x-5))>(-1)*18

3(x-5)<-18

3 passes by dividing

x-5<-18/3

x-5<-6

5 goes by adding:

x<-6+5

x<-1

A boy has only dimes and quarters in his piggy bank. if he has 70 coins worth 12 dollars and 40 cents altogether, how many quart
dlinn [17]

Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins: 

One dime = $0.10 

One quarter = $0.25 

Let x = number of dimes 

        y<span> = number of quarters</span> 

Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that: 

<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y) 

Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that: 

0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40 

To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y) 

0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40 

7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40 

0.15y = 5.40 

y = 36 

X = 70 – 36 

X = 34 

Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span> 

34 dimes = $3.40 

36 dimes = $9.00 

<span>Total           </span><span>$12.40</span>

Sonya wants to sew ribbon along each side of a square pillow.
Eduardwww [97]

We are given area of the ribbon = 144 square inches.

We know formula for side of a square = \sqrt{Area \ of \ a \ square }.

Plugging value of area in the formula, we get

Side of the square = \sqrt{144}

= 12 inches.

Sonya wants to sew ribbon along each side of a square pillow.

So, we need to find the perimeter of the square pillow.

<h3>Perimeter = 4 × side = 4 × 12 = 48 inches.</h3><h3>Therefore, she buy 48 inches of ribbon to have the exact amount that she needs.</h3>
