Let x be the unknown number.

<span>7x + 668 </span><<span> 2000</span>     => 7x plus 668 is less than 2000

where: 
7x => x represents the number of cans to be collected in 7 days
668 is the number of cans already collected. 
2000 is the target number of cans.

7x  +  668    <    2000
        - 668           -668
7x                <   1332
÷7                        ÷7
x                  <    190.30
or
x < 190

To check:

7x + 668 < 2000
7(190) + 668 < 2000
1330 + 668 < 2000
1998 < 2000

Find a number such that one-half of the number is 9 less than two-thirds of the number
dimulka [17.4K]
Let's say, the number is "a"
thus        \bf \cfrac{1}{2}a=\cfrac{2}{3}a-9\implies \cfrac{a}{2}=\cfrac{2a}{3}-9\implies \cfrac{a}{2}=\cfrac{2a-27}{3}

cross-multiply and solve for "a"

You basically look at the bar graph on the right and see which statement is true. Brainliest and thank you!
wel

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To check this answer, you could obviously graph the points, but without graphing, you can tell the line would be straight because each x value is multiplied by the same number to get the corresponding y value.

3 x 5 = 15, 4 x 5 = 20, etc. This shows linear growth. If each x value were multiplied by twice itself (3 x 6, 4 x 8, and so on), you wouldn't have a straight line because the number that x is multiplied by changes depending on the value of x.
