If Ike does not want more than 20 pounds in his backpack, this means he wants less than or equal to 20 pounds in his backpack. Because each paper costs 1/3 pound, this can be used as the rate of change and we can set up the following inequality:
1/3x < 20
To solve this inequality, we should divide both sides of the equation by 1/3.
x < 60
Because this inequality means that x is less than or equal to 60, the answer is that Ike can carry 60 papers in his backpack.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
2.23
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(2x + 3)(x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² + 3x + 15 = 0
(2x + 3)(x + 5)
2x + 3 = 0
2x = -3
x = -3/2
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
Definition of an equilateral triangle: A triangle with the exact same sides and angles, which is 60°
<em>5 more than twice a number:</em>
Let the number be x:
2x + 5
<em>Since it is an equilateral triangle, multiply that by 3:</em>
3(2x +5) = 6x + 15
The perimeter is (6x + 15) inches.
Set up a proportion!
40 minutes / 5 holes = m minutes / 20 holes
Cross multiply.
800 = 5m
m = 160.
It will take him 160 minutes to dig 20 post holes.
Good luck Fabian!
