2x + 7 ≤ 3x - 5
Start by keeping the variable x on the left side of the inequality, and move everything else to the right side.
We can do this by subtracting 3x from both sides and subtracting 7 from both sides.
-x ≤ -12
Divide both sides by -1 to make x a positive; when dividing by a negative number you will flip the inequality sign, so ≤ becomes ≥.
x ≥ 12
Possible solutions for x are any number equal to or greater than 12.
Yes, there are many possible answers. An equation that can model your situation is:
4a+4b=75, with a being the amount of adult tickets sold, and b being the amount of children’s tickets sold.
Because both tickets cost 4 dollars, you would multiply the amount of tickets sold, by the price (in dollars) of the ticket.
So, you can find possible answers by substituting the amount of adult tickets sold. Say, 4 adults bought tickets. You could then substitute a for 4. So the equation would look like this.
4(4)+4b=75
16 + 4b = 75
4b = 75 - 16
4b = 59
Divide each side by four
B = 14.75
The reason you got a decimal number is because 75 cannot be divided by 4 evenly. So, in this context, you could say that 15 children bought tickets. One child had an issue, and Lisa gave them a 25% discount. This would explain why there are only 75 dollars worth in tickets. I hope I helped, this is my first question I have ever answered so I’m not entirely sure if this was helpful or not. Hope you figure this out!
