Let's use w to symbolize the weight of kittens. Given by the statement "each kitten weighs less than 3.5 ounces" we know that
1*w < 3.5
We can multiply both sides of the inequality by 7 to determine the total weights
7*(1*w) < 7*(3.5)
7*w < 24.5
Since there are 7 kittens, the combined weight of the kittens is 7w, therefore the above expression could be read as "The combined weight of the kittens is less than 24.5 ounces"
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 150 from both sides
-5r ≥ -62.5
Divide both sides by -5
r ≤ 12.5
(The greater than sign flips around when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative number)
2 - 7 = -5
8i - 2i = 6i
-5 + 6i is your answer
