Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 2y = 3 ( x2 for everything in the equation)
x - 4y = -1
4x+ 4y = 6
x - 4y = -1
Add the 1st line to the 2nd line to get rid of the y:
5x = 5
x - 4y = -1 ( you can pick any line from this system to be the second equation in this step, you can put 2x + 2y = 3 or 4x+ 4y = 6, anything above this step, but to make it simple chose the one you think is the easiest)
Solve for x, then plug the x value into the 2nd equation
x = 1
1 - 4y = -1
x = 1
-4y = -2 =) y = 1/2
x = 1
y= 1/2
8 > 7 + 
Subtract 7 from both sides
1 > Multiply both sides by 6
6 > x Flip it around so it's easier to read
x < 6
You can graph your answer by drawing an open circle at the 6 and coloring the line to the left. The circle should be open, because x is <em>less than 6</em>, not less than or equal to. You would color to the left to show that x can be anything less than 6.
Okie doke. So, we are rounding this number to the nearest thousandths place, which is three digits behind the decimal. The rules for rounding are if the number is 5 or more in the digit behind it, the number goes up. If it is 4 or less, the number goes back. In other words, we depend on the digit right of the digit we are rounding to in order to see what we do. The number we are rounding is 1.49882. The 8 is in the thousandths place and the 8 is to the right of that, which is the ten thousandths place. Because 8 is greater than 5, the number rounds up. So the number rounded to the nearest thousandth is 1.500.
Answer: The boys ate half a pie more than the girls did (5/10 more).
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 = 4/10
The difference between 9/10 and 4/10 is 5/10, or one half, so that's your answer.
