Answer:

The number of gallons must be greater than or equal to 6,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of gallons of paint need to sell

we know that

The number of gallons multiplied by $10 minus the cost of the new graffiti must be greater than or equal to $50,000

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

10x-15,000\geq 50,000

Solve for x

Adds 15,000 both sides

10x\geq 50,000+15,000

10x\geq 65,000

Divide by 10 both sides

x\geq 6,500

The number of gallons must be greater than or equal to 6,500

LAST QUSTION OF THE NIGHT!!!!!<br> HELP SHOW WORK PLZ AND THANK YOU!!!
MissTica
Okay, so, to find out if an equation has one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solutions, we must first solve the equation:

(a) 6x + 4x - 6 = 24 + 9x

First, combine the like-terms on both sides of the equal sign:

10x - 6 = 24 + 9x

Now, we need to get the numbers with the variable 'x,' on the same side, by subtracting, in this case:

10x - 6 = 24 + 9x
-9x. -9x
______________
X - 6 = 24

Now, we do the opposite of subtraction, and add 6 to both sides:

X - 6 = 24
+6 +6
_________
X = 30

So, this particular equation has one solution.

(a). One solution
_____________________________________________________

(b) 25 - 4x = 15 - 3x + 10 - x

Okay, so again, we combine the like-terms, on the same side of the equal sign:

25 - 4x = 25 - 2x

Now, we get the 2 numbers with the variable 'x,' to the same side of the equal sign:

25 - 4x = 25 - 2x
+ 2x + 2x
________________
25 - 2x = 25

Next, we do the opposite of addition, and, subtract 25 on each side:

25 - 2x = 25
-25 -25
___________
-2x = 0

Finally, because we can't divide 0 by -2, this tells us that this has an infinite number of solutions.

(b) An infinite number of solutions.

__________________________________________________

(c) 4x + 8 = 2x + 7 + 2x - 20

Again, we combine the like-terms, on the same side as the equal sign:

4x + 8 = 4x - 13

Now, we get the 'x' variables on the same side, again, and, we do that by doing the opposite of addition, which, is subtraction:

4x + 8 = 4x - 13
-4x -4x
______________
8 = -13

Finally, because there is no longer an 'x' or variable, we know that this equation has no solution.

(c) No Solution
