Answer:

x<6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3<9

Add three to both sides

2x(-3+3)<9+3

2x<12

Divide two by both sides

(2/2)x<12/2

x<6

Number Line:

dot will be open on 6, arrow will point left to indicate that x is less than 6 but you don't know the value of x.

Hope this helps. Have a nice day. May it be filled with joy and happiness. Please, stay safe and wash your hands. Happy Holidays.

I have 8 pennies and some quarters, nickels, and dimes. The number of pennies plus nickels equals the number of dimes. I have 3

Darina [25.2K]

There are five nickels.

Let w = the number of pennies; x = the number of nickels; y = the number of dimes; z = the number of quarters.

Then, we have three equations with four unknowns:

(1) w + x = y

(2) 3w = 2z

(3) 2y = 3z

However, there is a fourth unstated condition: w, x, y, and z must all be integers.

Assume that z = 6 (to avoid fractions).

From Equation (2), w = 4.

From Equation (3), y = 9.

Insert the values for w and y into equation (1).

4 + x = 9

x = 9 – 4 = 5

Thus, there are 4 pennies, 5 nickels, 9 dimes, and 6 quarters.

Check: 4 pennies + 5 nickels = 9 dimes

6 quarters + 4 pennies = 3 quarters for every 2 pennies

9 dimes + 6 quarters = 3 dimes for every 2 quarters

A movie theater earned $3,600 in sold-out ticket sales for the premiere of a new movie. VIP tickets cost $20 per person and regu

julia-pushkina [17]

There are 300 seats in the theater.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one VIP ticket = $20

Cost of one regular ticket = $8

Worth of sold out tickets = $3600

Let,

x represent the number of VIP tickets sold

y represent the number of regular tickets sold

20x+8y=3600 Eqn 1

y = 2x Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$20x+8(2x)=3600\\20x+16x=3600\\36x=3600$

Dividing both sides by 36

$\frac{36x}{36}=\frac{3600}{36}\\x=100$

Putting x=100 in Eqn 2

$y=2(100)\\y=200$

Total = x+y = 100+200 = 300

There are 300 seats in the theater.
