This is the concept of algebra, we are required to find a number,x, such that 87 decreased by three times a number is great than one hundred and sixty-five.
Supposed the number is x, three times the number will be:
3*x=3x
thus;
87-3x≥165
-3x≥165-87
-3x≥78
dividing both sides by -3 we get:
(-3x)/(-3x)≥78/(-3)
x≤-26
This implies that the number is less than or equal to 26
-5.5x+0.56= -1.64
-0.56 -0.56
-5.5x= -2.2
/5.5 /5.5
x= -0.4 is the answer
Those labels are not opposites. There are tons of real irrational numbers.
Answer:
(4,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying the bottom equation by -6, we get -6x+12y=-60.
Adding this to the first equation gives 15y=-45, and thus y=-3.
So, it follows that 6x+3(-3)=15, and thus x=4.
Answer:
<u> 105</u> students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The ratio of students who prefer pineapple to students who prefer kiwi is 12 to 5.
Now, to find number of students prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Let the students prefer pineapple be 
And the students prefer kiwi be 
Total students = 357.
So, we set an equation to get the number of students who prefer kiwi.
According to question:


<em>Dividing both sides by 17 we get:</em>

<em>Thus, students prefer kiwi are:</em>


Therefore, 105 students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
