4,000,000 and 20,000,000 miles²

let x be the area of one desert then 5x is the area of the other

sum = x + 5x = 24,000,000

6x = 24,000,000

divide both sides by 6

x = 4,000,000

one desert is 4,000,000 miles²

and the other is (5 × 4,000,000)= 20,000,000 miles²

Answer:

The area of desert one is 20,000,000 square miles and the area of desert 2 is 4,000,000 square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The area of a certain desert desert one is five times the area of another desert desert 2

Let the area of desert 2 is x.

Then the area of desert one is 5x.

The sum of their areas is 24,000,000 square miles.

Therefore,

x+5x=24,000,000

6x=24,000,000

x=\frac{24,000,000}{6}

x=4,000,000

Hence the area of desert 2 is 4,000,000

The area of desert one is 5x = 5×4,000,000 = 20,000,000

Hence, the area of desert one is 20,000,000 square miles and the area of desert 2 is 4,000,000 square miles.

Solve for 2.<br> -9x +5 &lt; 17 AND<br> 13x + 25 &lt; -1
Elena L [17]

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x +5 < 17 AND   13x + 25 < -1

Solve each part separately and then put back together

-9x +5 < 17

Subtract 5 from each side

-9x+5-5< 17-5

-9x < 12

Divide each side by -9 remembering to flip the inequality

-9x/-9>12/-9

x > -4/3

and

13x + 25 < -1

subtract 25 from each side

13x +25-25 < -1-25

13x <-26

Divide by 13

13x/13 < -26/13

x <-2

There is no overlap so there is no solution
