On the right side we have st which is the same as s*t or s times t
We want to undo the multiplication that is happening to s, so we have to divide both sides by t
d = s*t
d/t = s*t/t ..... divide both sides by t
d/t = s
s = d/t
Answer: Choice A)
Y ≤ x - 5
y ≥-x - 4
x - 5 = -x - 4
+ x + x
2x - 5 = -4
+ 5 + 5
2x = 1
2 2
x = ¹/₂
y = x - 5
y = ¹/₂ - 5
y = -4¹/₂
The following points that lie in the solution set to the following system of inequalities is (¹/₂, -4¹/₂).
At least would indicate that Miguel’s amount is greater than or equal to. At least indicates an amount equal to but also larger than the quantity specified. If it were at most, then we would use less than or equal to. Therefore, choose the one with greater than or equal to 250.
X = # of cans of tomatoes, y = # of cans of corn
x + y = 32.....y = 32 - x
0.80x + 0.40y = 18
0.80x + 0.40(32 - x) = 18
0.80x + 12.8 - 0.40x = 18
0.80x - 0.40x = 18 - 12.8
0.40x = 5.2
x = 5.2 / 0.40
x = 13 <=== 13 cans of tomatoes were bought
leaving (32 - 13) = 19 cans of corn bought
