Answer:

He sells 8 CDs and 12 DVDs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we have to set up a system of equations. We'll let x equal the amount of CDs and y equal the amount of DVDs. First, we'll set up an equation for the total number of items sold.

CDs + DVDs = 20 items

x + y = 20

Now we can set up one for amount of money made.

$9 for every CD + $11 for every DVD = $204

9x + 11y = 204.

Now that we have 2 equations we can solve. To do so, we'll multiply the first equation by -9 and then add them together.

-9x - 9y = -180

9x + 11y = 204

-------------------

2y = 24

y = 12

Now that we have the y value, we can find the x value by plugging into either equation.

x + y = 20

x + 12 = 20

x = 8

Solve for x<br> 9 - x &lt; 17<br><br> btw the &lt; has the line underneath it!
Radda [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9 - x ≤17

At some point you are going to have to turn the equation around. This would not normally be your first step, but this time it is better to start with it.

We won't do it directly. The best way to do it is to add x to both sides before you do anything else. This is not the usual way to solve these equations, but it's a good time to learn.

Inequality Rule: you must always solve for x. If it is -x then you are going to have to make an adjustment to get the x to be positive.

9 - x ≤ 17                        Add x to both sides

9 - x+x ≤ 17 + x              Combine

9 ≤ 17 + x                      Subtract 17 from both sides.

9 - 17 ≤ 17 - 17 + x

8 ≤ x

Notice that you have effectively changed the ≤ sign around, not because you have, but because the x reads differently now. It started out 9 - x ≤ 17 and when you finish solving it you get 8 is less than or equal to x. Entirely different.
