A=24+b
c=4a
c=4(24+b)
a+b+c=180
24+b+b+4(24+b)=180
24+b+b+96+4b=180
120+6b=180
6b=60
b=10
a=24+10
a=34
c=4(34)
c=136
34+10+136=180
So book a has 34 pages, book b has 10 pages, and book c has 136 pages.

<em>a=b+24</em>
<em>c=4a</em>
<em>b=a-24</em>
a+b+c=180
<u>sub in a,b and c into a+b+c=180</u>
b+24+4a+a-24=180
b+5a=180
sub a=b+24
b+5(b+24)=180
b+5b+120=180
6b=180-120
6b=60
b=10
Book B has 10 pages

Aria and her children went into a bakery and will buy donuts and brownies. She must buy at least 6 donuts and brownies altogethe
laila [671]

Answer:

Inequality for donuts and brownies is;

d ≥ 1 ≤ b

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that aria will buy donuts and brownies.

We are also told that, number of donuts is d while number of brownies is b.

We are also told that she must by at least a total of 6 donuts and brownies together. Which means that the sum of d and b must not be 6 or greater than 6.

So the inequality will be;

d + b ≥ 6

Thus, for the donut and brownies, inequality would be; d ≥ 1 ≤ b
