Answer:
least value of n is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary has n sheep. Then she buys 17 extra sheeps.
Mray = n + 17 sheeps
Sam had exactly 4 times as mary. Then Sam sold 8 of his sheep.
Sam = 4n - 8 sheep.
Sam has more sheep than Mary
Sam sheep is greater than Mary
4n - 8 > n + 17
Collect like terms
4n - n > 17 + 8
3n > 25
Divide both sides by 3
n > 25/3
n > 8.3333
Note: the value of n must be whole
Therefore, least value of n is 9
Answer:
Part a) The inequality that represent the situation is
Part b) The possible lengths of the shortest piece of wire are all positive real numbers less than or equal to
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------> the length of the first wire
3x---> the length of the second wire
2(3x)=6x -----> the length of the third wire
Part a) WRITE AN *INEQUALITY* THAT MODELS THE SITUATION
we know that
The inequality that represent the situation is
Part b) WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE LENGTHS OF THE SHORTEST PIECE OF WIRE?
we know that
The shortest piece of wire is the first wire
so
Solve the inequality
Divide by 10 both sides
The possible lengths of the shortest piece of wire are all positive real numbers less than or equal to
I’m not sure how to answer this lol
