Then it would be 10-5 < 7
so if you solved it it would be 5 < 7
So this statement is true
Answer:
x ≤ 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 2 ≤ 
Multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions
2(x - 1) - 12 ≤ 5 - 2x ← distribute and simplify left side
2x - 2 - 12 ≤ 5 - 2x
2x - 14 ≤ 5 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )
4x - 14 ≤ 5 ( add 14 to both sides )
4x ≤ 19 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x ≤
Total amount of gas purchased by Ivy's father in the first week = 22.5 gallons
total amount of gas purchased by Ivy's father in the second week = 19.71 gallons
Let us assume the amount of gas purchased by Ivy's father in the third week = x
The total quantity of gas purchased in 3 weeks by Ivy's father = 61.75 gallons
Then
22.5 + 19.71 + x = 61.75
42.21 + x = 61.75
x = 61.75 - 42.21
= 19.54 gallons
So 19.54 gallons of gas was bought by Ivy's father in the third week
