So we know that there are 8 slices per large pizza (7), so a total of 56 slices
we would set up a proportion
5/8=x/56
8 times 7 gives you 56, and we would do that same thing to the 5 (multiply it by 7) to get 35?
so now we know that 35 out of 56 slices were eaten
56-35 is 21
so there are 21 slices left over
he solution set is

Explanation
For each of these inequalities, there will be a set of
x
-values that make them true. For example, it's pretty clear that large values of
x
(like 1,000) work for both, and negative values (like -1,000) will not work for either.
Since we're asked to solve a "this OR that" pair of inequalities, what we'd like to know are all the
x
-values that will work for at least one of them. To do this, we solve both inequalities for
x
, and then overlap the two solution set
Answer:
<em>- 1/2 (or - 0.5) </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
so first, simplify by combining like terms.
so 8w-6w = 2w
so now we have
2w - 8 = 4w - 7
now we have to get the w's to one side of the equation so we can solve for it. so that mean we have to subtract 2w from both sides. 2w - 2w is 0. and then 4w - 2w = 2w. so now we have
-8 = 2w - 7
then to slowly start isolating w, add 7 to both sides of th equation. so now its
-1 = 2w
finally to get w by itself divide 2 from both sides.
and the answer is
-
= w
If Joe has five rabbits, each rabbit represents a fifth. Therefore, Joe would have one white rabbit and the rest, which would be four-fifths, would be black.
