What is the solution in the equality -3x-42>3?

1 answer:

8 0

-3x-42>3
-3x>45
x<-15

I chose x<-15 because through the process of elimination, if it was an equality, x=-15. Since it is an inequality, when dividing both sides by a negative, the sign switches.

Solve for b:

$\begin{gathered} b=16\cdot\cos (45) \\ b=8\sqrt[]{2} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

200 mg sodium is in 1 oz of chips and 50 mg sodium is in 1 cup of soda.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mg sodium is in 1 oz of chips and and y mg is in 1 cup of soda.

∵ Bryan ate 3 oz of chips and drank 2 cups of soda for a total of 700 mg of sodium.

i.e. 3x + 2y = 700 --------(1),

Jadyn ate 1 oz of chips and drank 3 cups of soda for a total of 350 mg of sodium.

i.e. x + 3y = 350 ---------(2),

Equation (1) - 3 × equation (2),

We get,

2y - 9y = 700 - 1050

-7y = -350

$\implies y = \frac{-350}{-7}= 50$

From equation (1),

3x + 2(50) = 700

3x + 100 = 700

3x = 700 - 100

3x = 600

$\implies x = \frac{600}{3}=200$

Hence, 200 mg sodium is in 1 oz of chips and 50 mg sodium is in 1 cup of soda.
