Answer:

$7x\leq x-24$

Here, $x$ denotes the required number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ denotes the required number that satisfies the following condition.

''seven times a number is less than or equal to a quantity that is 24 less than that same number''

Seven times a number is equal to $7x$

Quantity that is 24 less than that same number is equal to $x-24$

Now find the inequality.

As seven times a number is less than or equal to a quantity that is 24 less than that same number,

$7x\leq x-24$

Bailey has an hour to get ready for school. She spends 3/6 of the time getting dressed. She spends 1/4 of that time eating break

Katen [24]

Well, to find out whether she spent more time getting dressed or eating breakfast, we simply have to compare the fractions of the hour that she took on each.
We know that she took 3/6 of an hour to get dressed and 1/4 of an hour to eat breakfast. To find out which activity she spent more time on, we simply need to see which fraction is bigger.
To do this, we must first reduce the fractions to lowest terms. 1/4 is already in lowest terms, so we can leave that alone. 3/6 can be reduced, however, and since 3 goes into 6 twice, it reduces to 1/2.
Now, we can compare the fractions.
Is 1/2 of an hour or 1/4 of an hour more?
The answer is 1/2, so now we know that Bailey spent more time getting dressed than eating breakfast.
Hope that helped! =)

Use the information given to enter an equation in standard form.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

y - 1.4x = - 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation: find the slope, use point-slope form to calculate the equation, then convert the equation to standard form.

Slope: $\frac{45-31}{37-27} = \frac{14}{10} = 1.4$

Use point slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Plug in x = 27, y = 31, and m = 1.4

y - 31 = 1.4(x - 27)

y - 31 = 1.4x - 37.8

y = 1.4x - 6.8

Convert this into standard form: ax + by = c

y - 1.4x = - 6.8

A package of strawberries costs 1.50 while they are in season and 2.25 when they aren't in season. What is the percent increse.

PIT_PIT [208]

The answer is 50%.

Divide 2.25 by 1.50. That equals 1.5. That’s the equivalent to 50% because if you subtract 1 from 1.5 and multiply by 100. You get the same answer. Only do that for numbers greater than one, otherwise it won’t work
