5x-1 is greater than or equal to -11
In order to solve this we need to get x by itself on one side.
We need o start by adding across the 4 so that we get:
x/3 = -7 + 4 = -3
We then need to multiply both sides by 3 to get a singular x:
x = -3 * 3 = -9
Answer:
B. He added 3.5 and 5 when he should have multiplied them.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's observe Joe's steps:
- V = lwh
- 204 = 3.5 * (5) * l
Here, * means to multiply, so we're supposed to multiply 3.5 to 5, which would give you the answer 17.5. Unfortunately, look what Joe got: he obtained the value of 8.5, and if we observe, 3.5 + 5 = 8.5.
That's how we know that Joe added instead of multiplied, as he should have done. Thus, the answer is B.
8 bags = 45 pound.
1 bag = 45 ÷ 8
