Each friend pays $2250/5 = $450 per month as a shared resident.
X + Y = 180 so X = 122. W = X = 122. Z = Y = 58
Hello,
the first step should be to distribue:
-4(3-5x)= -12+20x
Teh resolution may be:
-4(3-5x)>=-6x+9
==>-12+20x>=-6x+9
==>20x+6x>=9+12
==>26x>21
==>x>=21/26
But an other way may be used:
-4(3-5x)>=-6x+9
==>3-5x<= -6x/(-4)+9/(-4)
==>-5x-3/2 x<=-9/4 -3
==>-13/2 x <=-21/4
==>x>= -21/4 *(-2/13)
==>x>=21/(2*13)
==>x>=21/26
