Answer: 
Explanation:
Follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo what's happening to x.
We first add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5 to fully isolate x.
Refer to the steps below to see what I mean.
The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. The only time it flips is when you divide both sides by a negative number.
The solution set for x is anything -3 or larger.
If x was an integer, then we could say the solution set is {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}
1b ONLY LESS THAN
2c ONLY MORE THAN
3a HIGHEST means less than OR equal to
4d 7.54 miles OR MORE means greater than or equal to
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming the equation is set up like this:
(x+9)/3 = 8
Multipy by 3 to both sides
x + 9 = 24
Subtract 9
x = 15
Answer:
16 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
The LCD of 6 1/3 + 5 1/2 + 4 1/4 is 12; 12 is evenly divisible by 3, 2 and 4.
We can rewrite this expression as:
6 + 5 + 4 + 1/3 + 1/2 + 1/4, or
15 +4/12 + 6/12 + 3/12, or
15 + 13/12, or
16 1/12
