Answer:
n - (-6) < 9
n < 3
Step-by-step explanation:
When setting up an inequality, using the key words from the problem will help. The word 'difference' would indicate subtraction and 'less than' would be the '<' inequality sign. Since the expression is 'the difference of a number and -6', we write:
n - (-6) < 9
Whenever we subtract a negative number, we change both signs to positive:
n + 6 < 9
Using inverse operations to solve: n + 6 - 6 < 9 - 6
n < 3
Use the slope-intercept y=mx+b to find slope
Slope=m
M=3
Answer:
2 Sandwiches
Step-by-step explanation:
30 M&Ms
1) Gathering the data
12-ounce bag of trail mix = 18 M&Ms
20-ounce bag=?
2) Assuming that the M&Ms are placed in following a constant rate we can write the following proportion:
12 --------------- 18
20 --------------- y
<em>Cross multiplying it due to the first property of proportions</em>
<em />
12y =20 x 18
12y = 360
y=30
3) So, I'd expect to find 30 M&Ms at a 20-ounce bag of trail mix.
