Answer:

3/2x-2>5 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two less than a number means we are subtracting 2, so we can write it into the equation as -2.

Since we dont know the value of x, we can just write 3/2 of x by multiplying 3/2 by x. So 3/2x. Also, since we are subtracting two from 3/2x, -2 comes after 3/2x.

Now, since it says that it is more than 5 1/2, we could use the greater than sign (>), to express that. So >5 1/2

Our final expression is 3/2x-2>5 1/2.

Hope this helps!

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. The figure is composed of a triangle and a rectangle.

Area of the triangle = ½*base*height

base = 4 ft

height = 12 - 8 = 4ft

Area of triangle = ½*4*4 = 8 ft²

Area of rectangle = length * width

Length = 8 ft

Width = 4 ft

Area of rectangle = 8*4 = 32 ft²

✔️Area of the figure = 8 + 32 = 40 ft²

2. The figure is composed of a semicircle and a triangle

Area of the semicircle = ½(πr²)

radius (r) = 3 cm

π = 3

Area = ½(3*3²) = 13.5 cm²

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

base = 3*2 = 6 cm

height = 6 cm

Area = ½*6*6 = 6 cm²

✔️Area of the figure = 13.5 + 6 = 19.5 cm²

Given : In a city, the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station. The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

To find : How far apart are the police station and the fire station?

Solution :

Let the distance between police station and fire station be 'x'.

The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station.

i.e. $2x-3$
