Answer: x= -100
Step-by-step explanation:
X/5=-14-6
X/5=-20
X=-100
Let A represent the amount Ann contributed, Z represent Zoe's contribution, and J represent Jim's contribution toward the present.
Ann (A): A
Zoe (Z): A = Z - 12 → Z = 12 + A
Jim (J): A = J - 16 → J = 16 + A
A + Z + J = 154
(A) + (12 + A) + (16 + A) = 154
3A + 28 = 154
3A = 126
A = 42
Ann (A): A = 42
Zoe (Z): Z = 12 + A = 12 + 42 = 54
Jim (J): J = 16 + A = 16 + 42 = 58
Answer: Ann=42, Zoe=54, Jim=58
Let's do this step by step:
Our objective is to find out x.
First, we have to take the '-3' to the right side, and put it next to the 11. When we do this its operation reverses, so it becomes 11 + 3, which is 14.
So we have 9x > 2x + 14.
Then we do the same to the numbers with X, but this time we take the number from the right side to the left. So 2x to the left (reversed) becomes 9x-2x which is 7x.
So 7x > 14
Now let's simplify, 14/7 = 2
so x = 2
1)
16.90 is about $17
$17 * 3 = 51
6.99 is about $7
7 * 4 = 28
28 + 51 = 79
This is not reasonable because it costs $79, which is more than $75.
7 * 3 = 21
21 + 51 = 72
The customer has enough for 3 supreme pizzas and 3 dessert pizzas.
2)
16.90 is about 17
5.99 is about 6
17 + 6 = 23
23 - 5 = 18
This is reasonable.
3)
14.85 is about 15
6.99 is about 7
15 + 7 = 22
22/100 = 0.22
0.22 * 22 = 4.84
This is reasonable.
4)
16.90 is about 17
14.85 is about 15
5.99 is about 6
6.99 is about 7
17 * 5 = 85
15 * 5 = 75
6 * 5 = 30
7 * 5 = 35
85 + 75 + 30 + 35 = 225
This is reasonable
5)
14.85 + 1.39(4) = 20
1.39 * 4 = 5.56
14.85 + 5.56 = 20.41
This is not reasonable because the total is more then $20.
