At a certain factory, 10 percent of the staplers produced on monday were defective and 2 percent of the nondefective staplers we

re rejected by mistake. if 90 of the nondefective staplers were rejected, what was the number of staplers produced that day?

Because 12% of the staplers were defective or considered defective, we simply find 12% of a number that is equvalent to 90:

0.12x = 90

x = 750

750 staplers were produced

Solve -1 < x + 1 ≤ 6
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

-2<x≤5

Step-by-step :

-1<x+1≤6 So fisrt what every we do to one side we must do to the other. In this case it's a bit different since we are dealing with inequalities.

-1<x+1≤6 I would start off by isolating x in the middle.

-1<x+1≤6 I subtracted 1 from all three sides.

-1     -1   -1

Now your equation should look like this:

-2<x≤5  Now there is really nothing much we can do here since we were just trying to get x by its self.

Answer : -2<x≤5

Write an equation that represents the line.<br> Use exact numbers.<br> (-2,-1)<br> (4,6)
vazorg [7]

Check the picture below.

to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, so let's use those in the picture

(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6})~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{6}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}} \implies \cfrac{6 -1}{4 +2} \implies \cfrac{ 5 }{ 6 }

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{5}{6}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)})\implies y-1=\cfrac{5}{6}(x+2) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{5}{3}\implies y=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{5}{3}+1\implies y=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{8}{3}

C. Solve 1/2 x - (x+3)&lt;1/3(x-1)​
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step by step!

3/8x + 15/2 = 18

Step 1: Subtract 15/2 from both sides.

3/8x + 15/2 - 15/2 = 18 - 15/2

3/8x = 21/2

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 8/3

(8/3) * (3/8x) = (8/3) * (21/2)

Step 3. Calculate

x = 28

The carnival charges $5 admission and $0.50 for each ride. Alex's dad gave him $15 to spend. How many rides can he go on at most
Oxana [17]

Let us suppose number of rides is x.One ride costs $0.50.

Cost of x rides is 0.50x. The carnival charges is $5. Alex has $15 to spend .

Number of rides at most Alex can have can be given by the inequality:

0.50x+5≤ 15

To solve for x we subtract 5 both sides

0.50x≤ 15-5

0.50x≤ 10

Dividing both sides by 0.50 we have :

x≤ 20

Number of rides at most Alex can have is 20.
