Answer:is 5 ^ -2 ????
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 # hamburger = 16 oz to a pound so 1/4 is 4 oz.
1 doz baseballs (12), 5 oz each
Box = 9 oz.
Total weight = 12x5 = 60 oz. + 9 oz. = 69 oz.
69/16 = 4 lb. 5 oz.
Inequalities and equations use similar steps to solve, but inequalities give a range of numbers that can represent the variable while an equation will give a direct answer.
Example:
4+5x=24
First you would subtract 4 or add the opposite of 4 from 24.
4+5x=24
+(-4) +(-4)
—————
5x=20
Then divide each side by 5 or multiply each side by the reciprocal of 5 to isolate the variable.
1/5*5x=20*1/5 (reciprocal)
X= 4
You would use the same steps in an inequality but end up with a different sign.
