So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x
ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x
so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6
6 tails added
total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40
6 tails added
40 total coins
Given:
The inequality is
To find:
The solution set for the given inequality.
Solution:
We have,
Divide both sides by 3.
It can be written as
Subtracting 4 from each side, we get
The solution set of the given inequality is (-5,-3).
Therefore, the correct option is A.
The answer as a mixed number is 1 7/25
The answer as a decimal is 1.28
