Jonah is going to the store to buy candles. Small candles cost $2.50 and large candles cost $7.00. He needs to buy at least 20 c

andles, and he can spend no more than 80 dollars. Make this into a system of linear inequalities to model each situation. DEFINE YOUR VARIABLES! (No Solving is required, just equation.)

<em><u>The system of linear inequalities are:</u></em>

a + b \geq 20\\\\2.50a + 7b\leq 80

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the number of small candles bought

Let "b" be the number of large candles bought

<em><u>He needs to buy at least 20 candles</u></em>

Therefore, number of small candles and number of large candles bought must be at least 20

Thus, we frame a inequality as:

a + b \geq 20

"at least" means greater than or equal to

Here, we used "greater or equal to" symbol because, he can buy 20 candles or more than 20 candles also

From given,

Cost of 1 small candle = $ 2.50

Cost of 1 large candle = $ 7

<em><u>He can spend no more than 80 dollars</u></em>

Which means, he spend maximum 80 dollars or less than 80 dollars also

So we have to use "less than or equal to" symbol

<em><u>Thus, we frame a inequality as:</u></em>

Number of small candles bought x Cost of 1 small candle + number of large candles bought x Cost of 1 large candle \leq 80

a \times 2.50 + b \times 7 \leq 80\\\\2.50a + 7b\leq 80

<em><u>Thus the system of linear inequalities are:</u></em>

a + b \geq 20\\\\2.50a + 7b\leq 80

Reika [66]

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question :

Let amount rytis get = x

Hence, amount Linda gets = 3x

Hence, amount Adam gets = 2 times what Linda gets = 2(3x) = 6x

Hence, total amount shared :

x + 3x + 6x = 10x

Amount Linda got = 3x

Therefore, fraction Linda gets = Amount gotten by Linda / total amount = 3x / 10x = 3/10

Hence, fraction gotten by Linda = 3/10

Which of the following statements says that a number is between -3 and 3?
Shalnov [3]
So, if the <span>number is between -3 and 3, It couldn't be more than 3, so C isn't the answer. It also doesn't have to be equal to 3.

B, </span><span>|x| < 3, would be your answer.
Hope this helps!</span>

If the equation yx = zx is true, when yx is positive, x /= 0, and z is
denis23 [38]

Answer: negative

Step-by-step explanation:

With yx = zx, then by the Multiplicative Property of Equality, y = z. Since z is a negative integer, then y is also a negative integer. Since yx is positive, with y equal to a negative integer, then x is negative.
