Let A represent the amount Ann contributed, Z represent Zoe's contribution, and J represent Jim's contribution toward the present.
Ann (A): A
Zoe (Z): A = Z - 12 → Z = 12 + A
Jim (J): A = J - 16 → J = 16 + A
A + Z + J = 154
(A) + (12 + A) + (16 + A) = 154
3A + 28 = 154
3A = 126
A = 42
Ann (A): A = 42
Zoe (Z): Z = 12 + A = 12 + 42 = 54
Jim (J): J = 16 + A = 16 + 42 = 58
Answer: Ann=42, Zoe=54, Jim=58
Our given inequality is:
-7x < -42
To solve for the inequality, we need to simplify for x and ensure we've carefully answered the question.
Currently, x is being multiplied by -7.
To get x by itself, we need to perform the opposite of what's being done.
Remember, what you do to one side of an equation/inequality, you must do to the other.
The opposite of multiplying is dividing.
Divide -7x by -7 to get x.
-7x / -7 = x
-42 / -7 = 6 (Dividing a negative by a negative makes a positive, the same goes with multiplying)
You're left with x < 6
When we divide/multiply by a negative, we need to flip the inequality with the opposite value.
Your final inequality is:
x _> 6
I hope this helps you. :)
How much did my run, and then I will give you the answer
Well he says he needs 16 inches of tubing for each washing machine and he is trying to install 18 washing machines.
sooo all we have to do is multiply 16 times 18
lets do the math:)
16 x 18 = 288
whats your answer? well its 288 inches of tubing
have a good one:)
merry christmas:D
