-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago

Answer:

The Answer is: the Number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number.

Five times the number minus 10 is less than 6 times the number minus eight:

5n - 10 = 6n - 8

-1n = -8 + 10

-n = 2

n = -2, the value of the number is -2.

Proof:

5(-2) - 10 = 6(-2) - 8

-10 - 10 = -12 - 8

-20 = -20

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

At a fish market, a pound of salmon costs $12 and a pound of shrimp costs $18. Mrs. Donnelly wants to buy 2 1/3 pounds of salmon
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Yes and she would have $2 left over because all the food costs $91.

Step-by-step explanation:

We should set up an equation so that everything makes sense. A calculator would be wise for this problem, but I am going to lay it out anyhow.

We should convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to not be confused. 3 1/2 becomes 7/2 or 3.5 and 2 1/3 becomes 7/3.

From your wording, we can assume that the money Mrs. Donnelly has is either greater than or equal to $93.

Thus, we have 12*(7/3) + 18*(7/3) is equal to or greater than 93 (this is an inequality).

The math shows that the food costed 91 and so she only has $2 left.

IrinaK [193]
326=12m+6c+x The reason your x does not have a number is because it is unknown so in order to solve for x you need to get rid of the 12m+6c so in order to that you can divide it on both sides so you would get 326/12m+6c=x the divide your numbers 18.1=x but you cant have a tenth of a djembe drum so you would have to round up to 19.
