Answer: (x+1)^2=12(y-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x - 15 > 10 + 20x...subtract 10 from both sides, add 5x to both sides
-10 - 15 > 20x + 5x ...simplify
-25 > 25x...divide both sides by 25
-25/25 > x ....reduce
-1 > x or x < -1 <===
The total weight being carried is
3545 +1758 +3697 = 9000 . . . . . pounds
Each ton is 2000 pounds, so together the trucks are carrying
(9000 lb) × (1 t)/(2000 lb) = 4.5 t
Altogether, the 3 trucks are carrying 4.5 tons of topsoil.
1/10 is the next fraction in the sequence. If you multiply the numerator and denominator by a common factor to give each fraction a denominator of 20, the pattern goes 6/20, 5/20, 4/20, 3/20. The next term would be 2/20 which equals 1/10.
