It would be C:11, for every book case requires 1/2 a gallon so when you divide 5 1/2 / 1/2, you get 11 gallons in total

Find the student’s error in solving the following inequality.
bagirrra123 [75]

Student's error is –5 < x.

Solution:

Step 1: Given inequality

31 < –5x + 6

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality.

31 – 6 < –5x + 6 – 6

25 < –5x

Step 3: Multiply both sides by –1 to reverse the inequality.

25 × (–1) > –5x × (–1)

–25 > 5x

Step 4: Divide by 5 on both sides.

–5 > x

The correct answer is –5 > x.

Student's error is –5 < x.

-8x + 2x -16 &lt; -5x + 7x<br><br> could you explain the answer
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

x > -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you simplify both sides of the inequality by combining like terms

-8x + 2x -16 < -5x + 7x

-6x - 16 < 2x

Then, you add 6x to both sides in order to isolate x (bring all the Xs to one side)

-6x - 16 + 6x < 2x + 6x

-16 < 8x

Lastly, you divide by 8 in order to cancel out 8x solve for x. Since 8 is not a negative number, you DO NOT flip the sign.

\frac{-16}{8} < \frac{8x}{8}

-2 < x

Please help on number 2 PLEASEEE and show work
Molodets [167]

the question says that the total price equalled of the antiques is 70. It also says that she bought a table, which was 44, and 2 chairs (x). We can form this equation.

44 + 2x = 70. <------the 2x comes from 2 times the cost of one chair (x) and the       .                               44 comes from the cost of the table. The total is 70 dollars.

2x = 26 <-------solve algebraicelyy(sry about by spelling)

x = 13 <-------this is the cost of only one chair.
