Answer:
a ≤ b + 5
a + b ≥ 40
2.5
a + 1.5
b ≤ 105
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation, 5x + 22 = 27:
The goal is to isolate the variable. Hence, a few mathematical operations are necessary to solve for the value of x.
Start by subtracting 22 both sides:
5x + 22 - 22 = 27 - 22
5x + 0 = 5
5x = 5
Next, divide both sides by 5 to isolate and solve for the value of x:
5x/5 = 5/5
x = 1
In order to verify whether x = 1 satisfies the give equation, we must substitute its value into the given equation:
5x + 22 = 27
5(1) + 22 = 27
5 + 22 = 27
27 = 27 (True statement. This implies that x = 1 is the correct value that satisfies the equation).
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1.
