For x/2 to be greater than or equal to 10, you must try out a few numbers.

If x = 20...

x/2 greater than or equal to 10

= 20/2 greater than or equal to 10

= 10 greater than or equal to 10.

So the answer for x is:

x = 20 or more

Hope this helps!!!

The pressure p(in lbs/in^2) that a 160 pound persons shoe exerts on the ground when walking varies inversely with the area A(in

GenaCL600 [577]

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
We have then:
P: pressure
A: Area of the sole of the shoe
Since the variation is inverse, we have an equation of the form:
$P = k / A
$
We must find the value of k.
For this, we use the following data:
when the shoes have a sole area of 40 in ^ 2 The pressure is 4 lbs / in ^ 2
Substituting values we have:
$4 = k / 40
$
From here, let's clear k:
$k = 4 * 40

k = 160$
Then, the equation is:
$P = 160 / A$
Answer:
The equation that relates these variables is:
$P = 160 / A$

Jack and Jane are married and both work. However, due to their responsibilities at home, they have decided that they do not want

Zanzabum

To solve a system of inequalities we graph both of them.
The inequality representing their combined pay would be
$12.50x+10.00y \geq 750$ . This is because Jane makes 12.50/hr, Jack makes 10.00/hr, and they want to make at least, so greater than or equal to, $750 combined.
The inequality representing their combined hours working would be
$x+y \leq 65$ , since they do not want their combined hours to be over 65. In both of these inequalities, x represents the number of hours Jane works and y represent the number of hours Jack works.
To graph these, we solve both of them for y:
$x+y \leq 65
\\ x+y-x \leq 65-x
\\ y \leq 65-x$
$12.50x+10.00y \geq750
\\12.50x+10.00y-12.50x \geq 750-12.50x
\\10.00y \geq 750-12.50x
\\ \frac{10.00y}{10.00} \geq \frac{750}{10.00} - \frac{12.50x}{10.00}
\\y \geq 75-1.25x$
The attached screenshot shows what the graph looks like. Going to the point where they intersect, we see that the shaded region that satisfies both inequalities begins when Jane works 40 hours and Jack works 25.
