Please help, I can't figure out how to set this up. There's supposed to be 2 equations.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath

Answer:     + 4/7,   6 (13/14)

Discussion:

Let L be the larger of the two numbers and S the smaller of the two. Then the first sentence translates into this:


-6L - L = -4  =>

-7L = -4        =>          (divide both sides by -7)

L = - (-4)/(-7) = + 4/7       (*)


The second sentence translates to

2 (L + S) = 15  =>               (divide both sides by 2)

(L +S) = 15/2  =>                (subtract L from each side)

S = 15/2 - L = 15/2 - 4/7    (using (*) above)

So

S = 15*7/(2*7) - (4*2)/(7*2)       (combine over common denominator of 14)

S = 105/14 - 8/14 = 97/14 = 6 13/14

Something is crazy here!    While 2(L +S) = 15  -- check it out -- our larger number L ( =4/7) is actually smaller than the S number (6 13/14)!  Maybe I should have called them Y and X, respectively, as you suggested!

Thank you,

Mr. B

PLEASE HELP ME :(<br> God bless.

Answer:

x - 99 ≤ -104 → 2nd line

x - 51 ≤ -43 → 1st line

150 + x ≤ 144 → 4th line

75 < 69 - x → 3rd line

Step-by-step explanation:

Ugh! Wow, this is going to be tedious, thanks alot, bro (jk, I got your back).

x - 99 ≤ -104

 + 99   + 99

x ≤ -5

There should be a line going from -5 to negative infinity (AKA the left) with a FILLED circle. So, the second one is correct.

x - 51 ≤ -43

 + 51   + 51

x ≤ 8

There should be an arrow with a FILLED circle going to negative infinity (AKA the left). So, the first one is correct.

I'm going to take a shortcut and notice that one of the lines has a filled circle while the other one has an empty circle. So the empty circle must relate to the question without a ≤ or ≥, but with a < or >. We see that 75 < 69 doesn't have ≤ or ≥ but a '<.' So this one must have the empty circle, which is on line 3. The last equation has to be on line 4.
