Answer:

9x + 3 = 7x + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Jeffrey set up chairs for a meeting.

He arranged the chairs in 9 equal rows but had 3 chairs left over.

Let x be the number of chairs. So,

9x+3 .....(1)

Then he arranged the chairs in 7 equal rows but had 19 chairs left over. So,

7x+19 ......(2)

From equation (1) and (2),

9x+3 = 7x+19

9x-7x = 19-3

2x = 16

x = 8

Hence, the correct option is (b).

disa [49]

Answer: $\frac{-1}{3}$ < n < $\frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

| 3n - 2 | - 2 < 1

+2 +2

| 3n - 2 | < 3

3n - 2 < 3 and 3n - 2 > -3

+2 +2 +2 +2

3n < 5 and 3n > -1

n < $\frac{5}{3}$ and n > $\frac{-1}{3}$

$\frac{-1}{3}$ < n < $\frac{5}{3}$

Interval Notation: $(\frac{-1}{3},$ $\frac{5}{3})$

Graph: $\frac{-1}{3}$ o--------------------o $\frac{5}{3}$

STatiana [176]

To determine the correct statement in the choices presented, we first have to solve the area of the tray. We assume it to be in a rectangular form so the area is:

Area = 10 in x 10 in x 7/2.54 in = 275.59 in³ for the paint tray
1 gallon paint = 231 in³ paint

Therefore, the correct answer is the first option. The paint will not fill the tray by 44.59 in³.
