Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = d before Anna gives away 50 marbles.

 

5 (a-50) = a +50 after Anna gives away 50 marbles.

 

5a - 250 = a + 50

 

4a = 300

 

a = 75

 

Anna has 75 marbles at the beginning and so did David.

 

Together they have 150 marbles.

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

Originally, they had the same number, so they both had x marbles each.

David: x

Amrita: x

Amrita gives 50 marbles to David. Now they have:

David: x + 50

Amrita: x - 50

"he had 5 times as many marbles as her"

x + 50 = 5(x - 50)

x + 50 = 5x - 250

-4x = -300

x = 75

Each had 75 marbles to start with.

75 + 75 = 150

The total is 150.

Answer:

{ -2 if x ∈ -4 < x < -3

{ -5 if x ∈ -3 ≤ x < 2

[ 5 if x ∈ 2 ≤ x < 5    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, we have;

{ -2 if x ∈ -4 < x < -3

For the next inequality line at y = -5, we have;

1) The inequality line, starts with an open circle on the left at x = -3, which is equivalent to less than or equal to symbol, ≤ as -3 ≤ x because the point x =-3 is the left boundary.  The inequality line extends to the point x = 2, where we have a closed circle (on the right), which is equivalent to a x ≤ 2 with the 2 on the right hand side because, the 2 is the right boundary of the inequality

2) The inequality can be summarized as starting from x = -3 extends to x = 2

3) As stated in point 1) the point x = 3, we have -3 ≤ x and at point x = 2, we have x ≤ 3 which can be combined as  -3 ≤ x < 2, to give;

{ -5 if x ∈ -3 ≤ x < 2

For the next inequality line at y = 5, we have;

1) The inequality line, starts with an open circle on the left at x = 2, which is equivalent to less than or equal to symbol, ≤ as 2 ≤ x because the point x =2 is the left boundary.  The inequality line extends to the right to reach point x = 5, where we have a closed circle (on the right), which is equivalent to a x ≤ 5 inequality, with the 5 on the right hand side because, the 5 is the right boundary of the inequality

2) The inequality can be summarized as starting from x = 2 extends to x = 5

3) As stated in point 1) the point x = 2, we have 2 ≤ x and at point x = 5, we have x ≤ 5 which can be combined as  2 ≤ x < 5, to give;

[ 5 if x ∈ 2 ≤ x < 5.
