5x + 4x = 720
9x = 720 (divide by 9)
X= 80
In order to get the bigger ratio, which is 5, you would substitute x for 80. (I'm bad at explaining)
Work:
5(80)= 400
Answer:
x > 8
x < -16
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 10 > 26
2x + 10 - 10 > 26 - 10
2x > 16
2x/2 > 16/2
x > 8
2x + 10 < -26
2x + 10 - 10 < - 26 - 10
2x < -36
2x/2 < -36/2
x < -16
Aiko jump roped for 20 minutes before stopping at 8:05. Just count 20 minutes back in order to see when she started.
8:05 - 20 minutes = 7:45
General exponential equation
y = A(1+r)^x
where
A = initial value
r = rate increase (+) or decrease (-)
x = time period of the change
y = projected value
y = 300(1.05)^x
in this problem, x = years after 2017
we want to find an x that makes the value more than or equal to 650
650 <= 300(1.05)^x
