Answer:
A. $2.87
Step-by-step explanation:
If we now that 4y equals to x, that means we can replace x with 4y.
Therefore we can write: 4y+2y = 12
We can summarize that to 6y = 12.
If we divide both sides with 6, you get y = 2
In order to solve for x, we can use the second equation and just replace y with value we just got (y=2).
We can write: x+2*2=12
Now you move 2*2 (which is 4) to the other side: x=12-4
Now you get: x = 8
Answer:
0.35
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean you add all the numbers up and you divide that answer by how many numbers you have used to add.
"At least" refers to greater than or equal to (≥).
This is because "at least" means:
- it can't be less than
- it can be equal to
- it can be greater than
This is basically like saying no less than.
If you must have at least 10 oranges for some recipe, then you must have 10 oranges, but you can also have more.
"Twice the difference of a number and 8"
This means that 2 times a number minus 8.
This can be written as 2(w - 8), since w is unknown and it's the difference between w and 8.
The 2 is being multiplied by this because it's 2 times this difference.
"At least 26"
This means ≥ 26.
Now for the actual inequality.
"Twice the difference of a number and 8"
translates to 2(w - 8)
"is at least 26"
translates to ≥ 26
Now put them together.
2(w - 8) ≥ 26
So the answer is 2(w - 8) ≥ 26.
Hope this helps! :)
