Answer:

2S+178\ge 2,000,

[911,\infty).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S be the number of cans that Shane had collected.

Abha had collected 178 more cans than Shane did, then Abha had collected S+178 cans.

Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling, this means that

S+S+178\ge 2,000,\\ \\2S+178\ge 2,000.

Solve this inequality:

1. Divide it by 2:

S+89\ge 1,000.

2. Now

S\ge 1,000-89,\\ \\S\ge 911.

The solution set is [911,\infty).

Hi Chandlermatos13,

To find the answer to your problem we would need to multiply. $500 x 4 would be $2,000.

Your answer is $2,000

Hope this helps

A hot air balloon descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes. Use integers to calculate and
Amanda [17]
Given:
descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes.

320 feet per minute * 3 minutes = 960 feet

Total change in altitude is 960 feet. Since it is descending, I believe it would be a negative 960 feet.

8. The total weight of a vase and its packaging is: 4 lb. 7 oz. The vase by itself
scoray [572]

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

the weight of the packaging materials is 12 oz. There are 16 oz in a pound. If the vase weighs 3 lb 11 oz, it would take 5 more oz to reach the next pound, and there was another 7 oz after that. You would then do 5 + 7, which is 12, so the packaging materials weigh 12 oz.

In a polynomials equation do you add the exponents if they are different
Alexus [3.1K]
You can only add exponents if you are multiplying two of the same variable together. For example,
x^{12} \times x^4 = x^{16}

You take them away if you are dividing.
<span>x^{12} \div x^4 = x^{8}

In a polynomial equation, you can add together two of the same variable if they have the same exponent
</span>3x^4 + 7x^4 = 10x^4

Or you can take them away in a similar fashion,
<span>3x^4 - 7x^4 = -4x^4

But you cannot add two (or more) different exponents,
</span>6+4x+7x^2 = 6+4x+7x^2 (it does not get any simpler)

I hope this has answered your question, if not, leave a comment and I'll update the answer.

Together, two people earn $28,000. One earns $2,000 more than the other. How much is the smaller income?
Inessa [10]
Look at this:

2x+$2,000=$28,000
2x=$28,000-$2,000
2x=$26,000
x=26,000 divided by 2
x=$13,000
