Step 1

Let

x-------> represents the number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy

y------> the money to spend for a painting canvas

we know that

y> 20 ------> inequality A

y=54-8.5x ------> equation B

substitute equation B in inequality A

54-8.5x > 20

therefore

<u>the answer part a) is</u>

The inequality that best represents this scenario is 54-8.5x > 20

Step 2

Solve the inequality

54-8.5x > 20

54-20 >8.5x

34 >8.5x

34/8.5 >x

4 >x ---------> x < 4

therefore

<u>the answer Part b) is the option C</u>

less than 4

The answer is B. She is buying 4 paint tubes. 4 x 8.5 = 34. 34 - 20 = 14, which is less than 54.

The electric potential in a circuit is given by
shtirl [24]
We are given with the equationL
V(t) = 320 e^(-3.1t)
At V = 200
200 = 320 e^(-3.1t)
t = 0.15 s

100 = 320 e^(-3.1t)
t = 0.36 s

It takes 0.36 - 0.15 = 0.21 s for the voltage to drop from 200 to 100 volts.
