Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
Thanks
Start by laying out the 12.
The neighbors of 12 must be 11 and 10.
The neighbor of 11 must be 9, and the neighbor of 10 must be 8, and so on and so forth, until you get a unique arrangement.
Answer:
x<12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b be the number of blue beads and g the number of green beads that Giovanni can use for a belt.
He's supposed to use a total of between 70 and 74 beads, so
70 ≤ b + g ≤ 74
The ratio of green beads to blue beads is g/b, and this ratio has to be between 1.4 and 1.6, so
1.4 ≤ g/b ≤ 1.6
For completeness, Giovanni must use at least one of either bead color, so it sort of goes without saying that this system must also include the conditions
b ≥ 0
g ≥ 0
(These conditions "go without saying" because they are implied by the others. g/b is a positive number, so either both b and g are positive, or they're both negative. But they must both be positive, because otherwise b + g would be negative. I would argue for including them, though.)
