Let any variable such as x represent the least amount of money that Malcolm needs to deposit. His balance from his checking account is $638.54. Subtract $159.50 from this amount.
With the condition that he must maintain $500, the inequality becomes,
(638.54 - 159.50) + x <span>≥ 500
479.04 + x </span><span>≥ 500
x </span><span>≥ 20.96</span>
I think yes it's correct but I'm not sure.
Answer:
x=-11/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First use the Distributive property on [3(2x-1)]:
5x+6x-3=3x-14
Now combine alike terms:
11x-3=3x-14
Now add three to both sides:
11x=3x-11
Now subtract 3x from both sides:
8x=-11
Now divide both sides by 8:
x=-11/8
This fraction cannot be simplified meaning your final answer SHOULD be -11/8
