Mathematics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago
8 0

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

Simplify 30x-140-(x-4)
balu736 [363]

Answer:

x = 4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

30x - 140 -(x - 4)

Multiply the -1 into (x - 4)

30x - 140 - x + 4

Add/subtract

29x - 136 = 0

      +136

29x = 136

\frac{29x}{29} = \frac{136}{29}

x = 4.689655172413793

What whole number best approximates the value of x?
ivanzaharov [21]

The answer is 87

For this problem, the method I used was more of a guess and check because I simply plugged the options into a calculator to see which one would be closest a little bit past 9.3 but not all the way 9.4

the square root of 87 is 9.32 so you would round down while the square root of 88 is 9.38 which would round up

Hope this helps :)
