Answer:
x < -6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 2 > 5x + 10
first step is to isolate x
3x -2 >5x +10
3x > 5x + 10 + 2
3x -5x > 10 + 2
now that we have 3x and -5x we can combine them
-2x > 10 + 2
now add 10 +2 =12
-2x > 12 (now divide by -2)
x < -6 (when we divide we flip the inequality sign)
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
120/360 = 12/36 = 2/6 = 1/3
Let x be the mass of the paperbacks and y be the mass of the textbook.
20x + 9y = 44.4 ----------- (1)
25x + 10y = 51 -------------(2)
(1) x 10:
200x + 90y = 444 --------(1a)
(2) x 9:
225x + 90y = 459 --------(2a)
(2a) - (1a):
25x = 15
x = 0.6 -------- sub into (1)
20 (0.6) + 9y = 44.4
12 + 9y = 44.4
9y = 44.4 - 12
9y = 32.4
y = 3.6
So the paperback's mass is 0.6 pounds and textbook is 3.6 pounds
Answer:
x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
7(x + 2) = 2x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
7x + 14 = 2x - 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
5x + 14 = - 1 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
5x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - 3
So in every 5 people, theres 1 left and 4 right.
so therefore there is 25 right handed people and 5 left handed people
