The answer is 1.2 b/c you have to solve x by simplifying both sides of the equation and isolating the variable.
Yes it does not, i want my free points
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x > -16 reduces to x > -4: All numbers greater than x = -4 (shaded area to the right of -4).
6x < -48 reduces to x < -8: All numbers to the left of -8 (shaded area to the left of -8).
Solution: (-infinity, -4) ∪ (-8, infinity)
The number line between -8 and -4 is not part of the solution set (is not shaded or darkened)
Draw an open circle at -8 and extend an arrow to the left of this circle. Then draw an open circle at -4 and extend an arrow to the right of this circle.
Let,
the no. of adults be "x"
then, the no. of childern = total people - total adults
= (30 - x)
Now,
According to the quesiton,
2 (30 - x) + 5x = 87
60 - 2x + 5x = 87
60 + 3x = 87
3x = 87 - 60
3x = 27
x = 27 / 3
x = 9
So, there were 9 adults in the group
