Answer:

The required inequality is 40-6b\leq 10.

Jhon can buy at most 5 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Part(A)

Let b represent the number of books John buys.

He wants at least $10 in his savings account which means if we subtract the cost of books from $40 we have at least $10 left.

40-6b\leq 10

The required inequality is 40-6b\leq 10.

Part(B)

40-6b\leq 10

-6b\leq 10-40

b \leq\frac{30}{6}

b\leq 5

Part(C):  Jhon can buy at most 5 books.

It was recently estimated that females outnumber males by about three or two. If there are 1770 people in a county, how many of
max2010maxim [7]

GIVEN

1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.

2) There are 1770 people in the city.

SOLUTION

Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:

x+y=1770\text{   -----------(1)}

If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{y}{3}=\frac{x}{2} \\ \therefore \\ x=\frac{2y}{3}\text{   ----------(2)} \end{gathered}

We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:

\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}y+y=1770 \\ \frac{2y+3y}{3}=1770 \\ 5y=1770\times3 \\ 5y=5310 \end{gathered}

Dividing both sides by 5, we have

y=1062

There are 1062 females in the county.

2y+8x=1 in slope intercept form
anzhelika [568]
The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
Following that kind of form becomes
2y = -8x + 1
y =(-8x + 1)/2
y = -4x + 1/2

Hope this helps <span>✌️</span>☺️✌️

How much 75 octane gas and 90 octane gas should be blended to make 15 gallons of 88 octane gas
Lisa [10]
75x + 90(15-x)=88(15)

75x+1350-90x = 1320

-15x + 1350 = 1320

-15x= -30

x=2

the amount of 75 octane is 2 gallons
the amount of 90 octane is 13 gallons

Hope this helps.
