Answer:
x > 10
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 24 > 26
Add 24 on both sides.
5x -24 + 24 > 26 + 24
5x > 50
Divide by 5 on both sides.
x > 50 ÷ 5
Find x.
x > 10
A general equation to use for this situation is y = mx + b.
For this question, we can assume that y is total cost, m is cost per balloon, x is the amount of balloons, and b as the service fee; so we can set the equation up:
y = (4.50)x + 12
And we can further plug in the total cost to find the number of balloons purchased for the party:
79.50 = (4.50)x + 12
Now we can solve for x (number of balloons):
67.50 = (4.50)x
x = 15
The total number of balloons purchased for the party is 15.
Answer:
We have:
x < 4 AND x > a.
if a = 4 and we use an "or" instead of the "and" we have:
x < 4 or x > 4.
This is:
"x is larger than 4 or smaller than 4."
Then the solution of this is all the real numbers except the value x = 4.
The set of solutions can be written as:
{xI x ∈ R \ [4]}
Where this reads:
"x belongs to the set of the reals minus the number 4".
Or we also could write it as:
x ∈ (-∞, 4) ∪ (4, ∞)
Where we have two open ends in the "4" side, so the value x = 4 does not belong to that set.
$97.20 divided by $9.25 is 10 hours
The fractions you're given can be simplified down, so you get (12 ÷ 3) 4 hours on Monday, (21 ÷ 3) 7 hours on Tuesday, and (22 ÷ 3) 7 1/3 hours on Wednesday. You can now add these up and get your answer as 18 1/3 hours, or 18.33.
I hope this helps!
