This could get complicated. Please try to follow my steps carefully:
Begin by writing the equation to be solved: <u>12E - 4 = 0</u>
Add 4 to each side of the equation: 12E = 4
Divide each side by 12: E = 4/12 = 1/3 .
The open circle means the inequality will be greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤).
A closed circle means the inequality will be greater than (>) or less than (<)
An arrow pointing right to increasingly positive values means the inequality is getting greater (> or ≥)
A narrowing pointing left to increasingly negative values means the inequality is getting lesser (< or ≤)
So for this graph with an open circle and rightward pointing arrow, “x” will be some number on the number line greater than the first point of -38:
x > -38
If you eliminate the parentheses, then add mq, you have
... y - p + mq = mx
Then dividing by m gives you the equation for x:
... x = (y - p + mq)/m
$23.40
Since we know how much Olivia spent total, and we know how much she spent on the sunglasses, we just subtract 16.35 from 39.74, and the final answer is 23.40
