n > -6 is the inequality for 16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given statement is:

16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

We have to write a inequality

From given statement,

16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

Let the number be "n"

Therefore,

16 plus 5 times "n" is more than "n" minus 8

Here, "plus" means addition and "minus" means subtraction and "times" means multiplication

Thus the statement is translated into inequality as:

16 + 5n >n-8

Simplify the inequality

16 + 5n >n-8\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}16\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\16 + 5n -16 > n - 8 -16\\\\5n >n-24\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}n\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\5n-n>n-24-n\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\4n>-24\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4\\\\\frac{4n}{4}>\frac{-24}{4}\\\\n>-6

Thus the soultion is n > -6

Melons cost $20 pet Crate, and apples cost $8 per create. an order comes in for a total of 48 crates for $420. what was the numb
Alika [10]

Answer:

The number of melon was 3 and the number of apples was 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Melons cost $20 per crate and apples cost $8 per create. If the total was 48 crates for $420, you can make the following system of equations, where x is the number of melons and y is the number of apples:

\left \{ {{x+y=48} \atop {20x+8y=420}} \right.

2. By applying the Method of substitution, you can solve for y in the first equation and substitute it into the second one to find x. Then, you can substitute the value of x into the first equation to find y:

y=48-x

20x+8(48-x)=420\\20x+384-8x=420\\12x=36\\x=3

3+y=48\\y=45

Define like terms. Give an example of like terms and then combine them
34kurt

Answer:

Like terms are numbers with or without variables that have the same variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x and 3x are like terms because they have the same variable.

5x and 3y are not like terms because the variables are different.

To combine them, just add or subtract them. You cannot combine non-like terms!
