4 0

Answer:

x = 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x:8 = 7:2

First, find the relationship between 2 and 7.

2 x 3.5 = 7

Since the ratios are equal, this means:

8 x 3.5 = 5x

Solve algebraically. First simply 8 x 3.5

5x = 28

Divide both sides by 5

x = 5.6

Three-eighths of the sum of sixteen times a number and twenty-four. How do you set this up?
patriot [66]
If you break it up:

Three-eighths = 3/8

Sixteen times a number, we'll call the unknown number X, so 16X.

Twenty Four = 24

The sum of 16X and 24 = 16X + 24

We want 3/8 of that sum so we put the sum in parenthesis and we get:

Y = 3/8(16X + 24) where Y is the answer youd get if you knew what X was.

Assign a variable to each quantity and write each statement as an inequality. Then give an example
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

1.

Variable: x

Inequality: x ≤ 12

Value that matches: 12

2.

Variable: y

Inequality: y < 66

Value that matches: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (1):

Let x be the variable

Reading through the question, we have the inequality to be represented by "at most".

At most is used for less than or equal to.

Hence, the expression can be represented by:

x ≤ 12

The range of this inequality is limited to all natural number that do not exceed 12.

Examples are 8, 2, 11, 12

Solving (2):

Let the variable be y

Reading through the question, we have the inequality to be represented by "below".

Below means less than

Hence, the expression can be represented by:

y < 66

The range of this inequality is limited to all number less than 66.

Examples are 65, 1 , 60......
