-3(5 + 8x) - 20 ≤ -11 |use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
-15 - 24x - 20 ≤ -11
-35 - 24x ≤ -11 |add 35 to both sides
-24x ≤ 24 |change signs
24x ≥ -24 |divide both sides by 24
x ≥ -1
2300 you mover the decimal over 3 spaces
We subtract 28 - 16 and get the number of girls
so lets do that
28 - 16 = 12
now we know the unsimplified ratio os 12 to 16
simplifed girls 12 ÷ 4 = 3
simplified boys 16 ÷ 4 = 4
since it says (girls to boys) we put girls first then boys
so it would become 3 : 4
Or the answer is B.) 3 : 4
You will have to divide 140 by 8 and it will give u P you already know R equals 8
