Here we have the following inequality:
So divide both sides by -3:
When multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes. That's the reason why we changed the sign from > to <. Finally, the solution set is:

Given:
Total number of marbles in the bag = 150
There are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles.
To find:
The number of blue marbles in the bag.
Solution:
Since, there are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles, therefore the ratio of blue marble to white marbles is 21:4.
Let the number of blue marbles be 21x and white marbles be 4x.
Total number of marbles in the bag = 150
Divide both sides by 25.
Now,
Therefore, the number of blue marbles is 126.

Answer:
(a) -(x+7)/y
(b) (x+7)/-y
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways you can show expressions are equivalent. Perhaps the easiest and best is to put them in the same form. For an expression such as this, I prefer the form of answer (a), where the minus sign is factored out and the numerator and denominator have positive coefficients.
The given expression with -1 factored out is ...
Likewise, the expression of (b) with the minus sign factored out is ...
On the other hand, simplifying expression (c) gives something different.

Another way you can write the expression is term-by-term with the terms in alpha-numeric sequence (so they're more easily compared).
Given: (-x-7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)
(a) -(x+7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)
(b) (x+7)/(-y) = (-x/y) +(-7/y)
(c) (-x-7)/(-y) = (x/y) +(7/y) . . . . not the same.
__
Of course, you need to know the use of the distributive property and the rules of signs.
a(b+c) = ab +ac
-a/b = a/(-b) = -(a/b)
-a/(-b) = a/b
__
<u>Summary</u>: The given expression matches (a) and (b).

<em>Additional comments</em>
Sometimes, when I'm really stuck trying to see if two expressions are equal, I subtract one from the other. If the difference is zero, then I know they are the same. Looking at (b), we could compute ...
Yet another way to check is to substitute numbers for the variables. It is a good idea to use (at least) one more set of numbers than there are variables, just to make sure you didn't accidentally find a solution where the expressions happen to be equal. We can use (x, y) = (1, 2), (2, 3), and (3, 5) for example.
The given expression evaluates to (-1-7)/2 = -4, (-2-7)/3 = -3, and (-3-7)/5 = -2.
(a) evaluates to -(1+7)/2 = -4, -(2+7)/3 = -3, -(3+7)/5 = -2, same as given
(b) evaluates to (1+7)/-2 = -4, (2+7)/-3 = -3, (3+7)/-5 = -2, same as given
(c) evaluates to (-1-7)/-2 = 4, different from given
Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the composite figure = Area of ΔABH + Area of BCGH + Area of ΔDEF
Area of ΔABH =
=
= 9 in²
Area of the trapezoid =
=
= 25 in²
Area of ΔDEF =
= 24 in²
Therefore, area of the given figure = 9 + 25 + 24
= 58 in²
Option A will be the correct option.
