Answer:

Hence, ||| only is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

" By the integer '-3' we mean there is a decrease in the quantity of anything or that it is lacking behind ".

| statement: You gain 3 pounds

is a positive quantity as there is gain of something. so integer '+3' will be used to define it.

|| statement: You set your clock 3 hours ahead.

is also a positive quantity as the time is leading by 3 hours; so integer '+3' will be used to define it.

||| statement: You use 3 gallons of gas.

is a negative quantity as after the usage of 3 gallons of gas the quantity of gas will decrease so integer '-3' will be used to define it.

Hence, ||| only is the correct option.

Solve for y<br> 2x + 5y &gt; 3y + 10
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

y>5-x

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need start by grouping terms in the same side of inequality.

Lets begging by grouping 'y' terms on the left side of inequality sign, to do this, subtract 3y to both sides:

2x+5y-3y>3y-3y+10

2x+2y>10

Now lets subtract 2x to both sides of inequality.

2x-2x+2y>10-2x

2y>10-2x

Now isolate variable x by dividing the inequaiity by 2.

y>5-x

That is the solution

Write a word problem that would have the equation 8x - 4 = 28
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

John's mother has the present age that is four less than the 8 times the present age of John.

If his mother has the age of 28 years now, then find John's present age.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write a word problem that would have the equation 8x - 4 = 28.

John's mother has the present age that is four less than the 8 times the present age of John.

If his mother has the age of 28 years now, then find John's present age.

So, if we consider the age of John as x years, then we will get the equation as 8x - 4 = 28. (Answer)
