Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to multiply both sides of the equation by -6/5

-6/5 × (-5/6x) = -6/5 × -10/3

Then you need to calculate and reduce. First, you'll reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor, 6.

1/5 × 5x = -6/5 × (-10/3)

then reduce the greatest common divisor, 5

x = -6/5 × (-10/3)

Then multiply (multiplying two negatives equals a positive)

x = 6/5 × 10/3

reduce the greatest common divisor, 3

x = 2/5 × 10

reduce the greatest common divisor, 6

x = 2 × 2

x = 4

2 u + 12 < 23 0,1 d + 8 > 0 3 - 4 r > 7 13 < 2 z + 3 6 ≥ 9 - 0, 15 i

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Part 1) $u< 5.5$

Part 2) $d > -80$

Part 3) $r < -1$

Part 4) $z>5$

Part 5) $i\geq 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Solve each inequality for the indicated variable

Part 1) we have

$2u+12$

subtract 12 both sides

$2u< 23-12\\2u$

Divide by 2 both sides

$u< 5.5$

The solution is the interval (-∞,5.5)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at left of u=5.5 (open circle)

The number 5.5 is not included in the solution

Part 2) we have

$0.1d+8 >0$

subtract 8 both sides

$0.1d > -8$

Divide by 0.1 both sides

$d > -80$

The solution is the interval (-80,∞)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at right of d=-80 (open circle)

The number -80 is not included in the solution

Part 3) we have

$3-4r> 7$

Subtract 3 both sides

$-4r>7-3\\-4r>4$

Divide by -4 both sides

Remember that, when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$r < -1$

The solution is the interval (-∞,-1)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at left of r=-1.1 (open circle)

The number -1.1 is not included in the solution

Part 4) we have

$13< 2z+3$

Subtract 3 both sides

$13-3$

Divide by 2 both sides

$5$

Rewrite

$z>5$

The solution is the interval (5,∞)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at right of z=5 (open circle)

The number 5 is not included in the solution

Part 5) we have

$6\geq 9-0.15i$

Subtract 9 both sides

$6-9\geq -0.15i\\-3\geq -0.15i$

Divide by -0.15 both sides

Remember that, when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$20\leq i$

Rewrite

$i\geq 20$

The solution is the interval [20,∞)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at right of i=20 (closed circle)

The number 20 is included in the solution

Paul paid $ 25.50 for 3 cups of hot chocolate and cups of tea. The cost of each cup of tea was 2/3 the cost of each cup of hoy c

Allushta [10]

Let the cost of one cup of hot chocolate be = x

Let the cost of one cup of hot tea be = y

Paul paid $ 25.50 for 3 cups of hot chocolate and 4 cups of tea.

Equation becomes = $3x+4y=25.50$ ...(1)

As given, the cost of each cup of tea was 2/3 the cost of each cup of hot chocolate.

$y=\frac{2x}{3}$ .... (2)

Putting the value of y from (2) in (1)

$3x+4(\frac{2x}{3})=25.50$

= $3x+\frac{8x}{3}=25.50$

= $\frac{9x+8x}{3}=25.50$

= $17x=76.5$

x=4.5

$y=\frac{2x}{3}$

= $\frac{2*4.5}{3}$

y =3

Hence each cup of hot chocolate is $4.50

Each cup of tea is $3.
