Answer:

The only possible answer that is correct is the first one, x = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the given inequality as much as possible, and then substitute each of the given x values one by one to determine which is in the solution set.

9(2x + 1) < 9x - 18 becomes 18x + 9 < 9x - 18, which, if reduced by dividing all four terms by 9, becomes 2x + 1 < x - 2.

Simplifying further, we get x < - 3.  The only possible answer that is correct is the first one, x = -4.  -4 < -3 is true.

Cant find the answer
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Carter family = 25 hours

Davis family = 31 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.

So combined:

x + y = 45 hours

and we are also told that:

40x + 15y = 1300 L

So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.

With some rearranging, we can figure out that:

y= 45 - x

and by substituting that into the second equation:

40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L

25x = 1300 - 675

25x = 625

x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler

and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:

25 + y = 56

y = 31

The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.
