Usually, you create the inequality by casting the problem statement into mathematical terms. Then, solving the inequality can answer the question posed by the problem statement.
Example:
I want to carpet my 1600 ft² house, but I can only afford to spend $3000. Tax and installation costs are expected to add 20% to the total cost of the carpet. What price range of carpet should I be looking at in term of dollars per square yard?
Solution:
Let p represent the price per square yard of carpet. The problem statement tells me
(1600 ft²)×((1 yd)/(3 ft))²×p×(1 + 0.20) ≤ $3000 . . . . . created inequality
p×((1600×1.20)/9 yd²) ≤ $3000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify left side
p ≤ $14.06/yd²
I can afford carpet that costs less than $14.06 per square yard.
Slope 2/1, y intercept is 6, equation is f(x)=6-2x
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to set the equations equal to each other and then solve for the variable.
Hope this helps:)
Answer:
w = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Midsegment theorem states that "a segment connecting midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel and half in measure of the third side."
By this theorem,
ST = 2(PR)
w + 6 = 2w
(w + 6) - w = 2w - w
w = 6
