The answer has to be 144 since it is the only one smaller than 180
Answer:
X=51/7, Y= -36/7
Step-by-step explanation:
X/3 + 2y/3 = -1 equ 1
X - y/3 = 9 equ 2
eliminate X/3.
X/3 + 2y/3 = -1..... x 1 ( co-efficient of X in equ2 )
X - y/3 = 9 ...... x 1/3 ( co-efficient of X in equ1 )
X/3 + 2y/3 = - 1 equ 3
-
X/3 - y/9 = 3 equ 4
0 + 7y/9 = -4
y = -36/7
( input the value of y into equ 4 )
X/3 -y/9 = 3
X/3 - (-36/7)/9 = 3
X/3 + 36/63 = 3
X/3 = 3 - 36/63
X/3 = 153/63
63X = 459
X = 459/63
X = 51/7.
<u>Understanding:</u>
The sum of 3 times a number (i'll define it as x) and 4 means
is between -8 and 10 which means the value of 3x+4 is less than 10 and greater than -8. With that said, the inequality for that problem would be
.
<u>Solving the problem:</u>
Now we know that
, you can solve the problem by <em>subtracting 4</em> from each side then<em> dividing by 3.</em>

Answer: $45
Step-by-step explanation:
15/4 = 3.75
Each shirt costs $3.75
3.75 * 12 = 45
