5b + 29 ≤ -25 is the translation of the phrase "the sum of a number times 5 and 29 is at most -25"
<h3>How to translate an English phrase into an algebraic equation?</h3>
Given the phrase in the question;
The sum of a number times 5 and 29 is at most -25.
First, we translate;
Let the unknown number represented by b.
- A number times 5 ⇒ b × 5 ⇒ 5b
- Sum ⇒ 5b + 29
- Inequality sign for at most -25 ⇒ less than or equal to ⇒ ≤ -25
Now we combine the terms;
5b + 29 ≤ -25
We can go and solve for the unknown number.
5b + 29 ≤ -25
Subtract 29 from both sides
5b + 29 - 29 ≤ -25 - 29
5b ≤ -25 - 29
5b ≤ -54
b ≤ -54/5
Therefore, the translation of the phrase is 5b + 29 ≤ -25.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The solution to the equation system given is:
- <u>x = 2</u>
- <u>y = -1</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must know the equations given:
- 2x + 3y = 1
- 3x + y = 5
Following Crammer's Rule, we have the matrix form:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\3&1\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%263%5C%5C3%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%5C%5C5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now we solve using the determinants:
![x=\frac{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\5&1\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\3&1\end{array}\right] } =\frac{(1*1)-(5*3)}{(2*1)-(3*3)} = \frac{1-15}{2-9} =\frac{-14}{-7} = 2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%263%5C%5C5%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%263%5C%5C3%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B%281%2A1%29-%285%2A3%29%7D%7B%282%2A1%29-%283%2A3%29%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1-15%7D%7B2-9%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B-14%7D%7B-7%7D%20%3D%202)
![y=\frac{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1\\3&5\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\3&1\end{array}\right] } =\frac{(2*5)-(3*1)}{(2*1)-(3*3)}=\frac{10-3}{2-9} =\frac{7}{-7}=-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%261%5C%5C3%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%263%5C%5C3%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B%282%2A5%29-%283%2A1%29%7D%7B%282%2A1%29-%283%2A3%29%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B10-3%7D%7B2-9%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B7%7D%7B-7%7D%3D-1)
Now, we can find the answer which is x= 2 and y= -1, we can replace these values in the equation to confirm the results are right, with the first equation:
- 2x + 3y = 1
- 2(2) + 3(-1)= 1
- 4 - 3 = 1
- 1 = 1
And, with the second equation:
- 3x + y = 5
- 3(2) + (-1) = 5
- 6 - 1 = 5
- 5 = 5
