First, you just need to disregard the greater than sign because these types of equation is solved the same way as those with equals (=) sign in the middle. So when y=6, First you need to substitute y=6 to the y in 3y
3(6)>2x
By multiplying,
18>2x
By dividing both sides of the equation by 2
18/2 > 2x/2
9>x
However if you want to transpose x to the left side of the equation, you also need to reverse the sign to <
x must be smaller than 9, because 18=2*9 => 18=18, and we doesn't respect the rule
now that we know that x<9 we have other 2 cases... 1. x is a natural number x can take values from the interval [0, 8] 2. x is a rational number, so it can take values from the interval [8, - infinite)
All you need to do is 267 times 93 to get the exact answer. the questions says ABOUT how many sticks so we can round the numbers. we can turn 267 into 270 and 93 into 90 and then multiply 270 by 90 to get 24,300 popsicle sticks
