Answer:

2.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

If one number is x then the other = 3x/8.

Also x - 3x / 8 = 4.2

x - 0.375 x = 4.2

0.625x = 4.2

x = 4.2 / 0.625

x = 6.72.

So the lesser number is 6.72 * 0.375 = 2.52.

2 = 3 + 1

this is not a solution because both equations have to be true.

10 - 3x &lt; 16 <br> Can y’all help me pls
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

x>-2

Step-by-step explanation:

first you subtract 10 from both sides to find x

10-3x-10<16-10

-3x<6

now here you divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3<6/-3

BUT since you are dividing by a negative number the sign will have to flip

so the answer will be

x>-2
