Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x > -7/3
Discussion:
-3x + 8 < 15 => add 3x to both sides
(-3x + 3x) + 8 < 15 + 3x => (-3x + 3x) = 0
8 < 15 + 3x => subtract 15 from both sides
8-15 < 3x => 8 - 15 = -7
-7 < 3x => divide both sides by 3
-7/3 < x
Thank You,
MrB
Let s = shirts
let t = ties
2s + t = 42
s + 2t = 39
s = 15
t = 12
one shirt equals $15
Answer:
a) $19.2
b) 0.8x
c) $17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We want to find the discount price given the regular price
The discount is 20%
so the discount price will be;
24 - 20% of 24
24 - 4.8 = $19.2
b) We have this as;
x - (20% of x)
x - 0.2x = 0.8x
c) let the original price be x
x - 20% of x = 14
x - 0.2x = 14
0.8x = 14
x = 14/0.8
x = $17.5
