If a< c< b then a<c and c<b
Separate the equation into 2 separate ones and solve them:
X-9 < 4x +3
Subtract 3 from both sides:
X-12 < 4x
Subtract x from both sides:
-12< 3x
Divide both sides by 3:
X > -4
4x+3 < 27
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x < 24
Divide both sides by 4
X <6
Combine to get one inequality:
-4<x<6
Answer:
1)p/4,2,1,1.625 2)x+1,3/2,5,7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) p/4
1/2 divided by 4=2
4/4=1
6.5/4=1.625
2) x+1
1/2+1=3/2
4+1=5
6.5+1=7.5
Answer:
60 professors and 168 lecturers
Step-by-step explanation:
What you have is a 2 equations system with 2 unknown variables.
Let X be the number of professors and Y be the number of lecturers. As the total of both is 228:
X + Y = 228
Then, as there are 5 professors for every 14 lecturers:
5 X = 14 Y or X = (14/5) Y
Replacing this last value of X on the first equation:
(14/5) Y + Y = 228
(14/5) Y + (5/5) Y = 228
(19/5) Y = 228
Y = 228 * (5/19)
Y = (228*5)/19
Y = 1140 / 19
Y = 60
Then we can find X:
X = (14/5) Y = (14/5) * 60 = 168
X = 168
