Answer:
x<0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
this is just like simplifiying equations if you've done that before
first you want to isolate the variable, so you want to combine the values of x (in this case it's 6x and the -2x)
so you can either add 2x to both sides or you can subtract 6x on both sides, in this case ill just add 2x to both sides.
Then you subtract 3 from both sides to get 8x<4
after you get that, you want to divide both sides by 8, and you generally want to do that step last, it makes it easier, and you get x<1/2 or 0.5
just a reminder that with working with inequalities, you want to remember to flip the direction the inequality is whenever you divide by a negative number
Answer:
12 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she has $15 and books come in a pack of four for $5, we can divide her money by the cost to see how many she can get ($15/$5) which gets us 3. but we have to remember the books come in a pack of four so we must multiply 3x4=12 books.
In the question, it is already given that the total number of runners in the race is 60 and out of them 1/3 dropped out in the first half. In the second half 1/4 of the remaining runners dropped out.
Now
Total number of runners in the race = 60
Number of runners that dropped out in the first half = 1/3 * 60
= 20
Number of runners remaining = 60 - 20
= 40
Number of runners dropping out in the second half = 40 * 1/4
= 10
Then the number of runners that finished the race = 40 - 10
= 30
Then 30 runners completed the race.
Answer:
No, the first two numbers have to be more than the last number when added up.
