If we let x as the total number of baseball cards
and yn be the quotient per operation, then

x/17 = y1 + 3

x/16 = y2 + 10

x/11 = y3 + 4

x/7 = y4

Based on Equation 1, x must be greater than 17
Based on Equation 4, x must be divisible by 7
y1, y2, and y3 must all be whole numbers
The smallest possible number of cards is 70

Solve the inequality.<br> 2(4+2x)25x+5
Inessa [10]

Answer:

x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(4 + 2x) ≥ 5x + 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

8 + 4x ≥ 5x + 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

8 ≥ x + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3 ≥ x , hence

x ≤ 3
