answer: C. 0
<h3>Answer:</h3>
room 3 or 4
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
We assume the inequalities tell the rooms that were checked and found empty.
The solution to 3) is ...
... 2x + 3 > 11
... 2x > 8 . . . . . subtract 3
... x > 4 . . . . . . .divide by 2
The solution to 4) is ...
... -3x > -9
... x < 3 . . . . . . divide by -3
Thus, rooms greater than 4 and less than 3 were found empty. Rooms 3 and 4 were not checked, so either one could hold Nessie.
_____
The other inequalities have solutions that are already covered by the solutions to these.
1) x < -1 . . . . after subtacting 4
2) x > 5 . . . . after multiplying by 5
Decigrams are 100 times bigger than milligrams, so convert 8 decigrams to 800 milligrams. Than subract: 800-3= 797
The flea weighs 797 milligrams more than the ant.
