The only way to have two numbers that are the same and add up to be 15
is if they're both 7.5 , but those don't multiply to be 36. So I guess there's
no answer that satisfies all the conditions of this question.
165% of what? If you mean 165% of 1, that's 1.65, which is 1 and 13/20
6(x-2.5) ≥ 8-6(3.5+x)
A number is before a parenthesis. The first step is to multiply.
6(x-2.5) = 6x -15
8-6(3.5+x)
2(3.5+x)= 7+2x
6x-15≥7+2x
Now solve
6x-15≥7+2x
-2x -2x
(-2x+2x)= They cancel out
(6x-2x)= 4x
4x-15≥7
+15 +15
4x≥22
/4 /4
You get= x≥5.5
