So first we want to say, 8 out of the 40 flowers were perennials.
8 out of 40 is 8/40, or simplified down to 1/5.
1/5 in percentage form is 20% because 1 divided by 5 = 20%.
Remember you can' do anything to boht sides, but when times negative, flip sign
distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
distribute the -4
-8+4x
now we have
2x<8-8+4x
2x<4x
minus 2x both sides
0<2x
therefor
0<x
answer is x>0
A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $4.40. There are 53 coins in all. How many nickels are there?
Nickel is a US coin worth 5 cents or 0.05.
Dime is a US coin worth 10 cents or 0.10
n + d = 53
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
n = 53 - d
0.05(53 - d) + 0.10d = 4.40
2.65 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05d = 4.40 - 2.65
0.05d = 1.75
d = 1.75 / 0.05
d = 35
n = 53 - d
n = 53 - 35
n = 18
There are 18 nickels and 35 dimes.
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05(18) + 0.10(35) = 4.40
0.90 + 3.5 = 4.40
4.40 = 4.40
