Answer:

$\quad y=-\frac{24-3x}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 3x from both sides

3x-8y-3x=24-3x

2. Simplify

-8y=24-3x

3. Divide both sides by -8

$\frac{-8y}{-8}=\frac{24}{-8}-\frac{3x}{-8}$

4. Simply again to get answer.

One minute later at 8:01pm. One lighthouse will flash 3 times (at 20, 40 and 60 seconds)...the other will flash twice (at 30 and 60 seconds). So they will both flash 60 seconds later, at 8:01

A survey asked students whether they would like a drama club, a step team, both clubs, or neither club. The results are below:

Dmitry [639]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here are the remaining questions:

a) Describe what each region in the Venn diagram represents.

Region I: In drama club, not in step team.

Region II: In both clubs.

Region III: In step team not in drama.

Region IV: Not in either club.

b) How many students were in only one of the two clubs?

c) How many students were in the drama club or in the step team?

d) How many students were surveyed?

Attached is the Venn diagram depicting the regions.

Explanation:

b) By adding the number of students that like drama club and those that like step club we can derive the answer: 34 + 27 = 61.

c) By adding 34 + 27 + those that like both (14) = 75.

d) The total number of students surveyed is gotten by summing any number in attached the diagram: 34 + 27 + 14 + 13 = 88.

Need help with number 3 inequalities with variables on both sides

Volgvan

Answer:

x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inequality:

$\displaystyle{2x-3 \leq \dfrac{x}{2}}$

First, get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by 2:

$\displaystyle{2x\cdot 2-3\cdot 2 \leq \dfrac{x}{2}\cdot 2}\\\\\displaystyle{4x-6 \leq x}$

Add both sides by 6 then subtract both sides by x:

$\displaystyle{4x-6+6 \leq x+6}\\\\\displaystyle{4x \leq x+6}\\\\\displaystyle{4x-x \leq x+6-x}\\\\\displaystyle{4x-x \leq 6}\\\\\displaystyle{3x \leq 6}$
