Answer:

8 ≤ x pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

I will be using * as a symbol for multiplication.

We can create an inequality for this question.

x will represent the amount of pounds that he may buy.

56 ≤ 7 * x

(This means that 56 is less than or equal to 7 times x.)

We create this inequality because of how Joe will spend AT LEAST $56 dollars on candy. The amount of candy is not defined in the question.

Let's solve.

56 ≤ 7 * x

Divide by 7.

8 ≤ x

Joe will buy at least 8 pounds of candy,

Note the word at least. This states that he may buy more, however 8 is the minimal amount he will obtain.

Please inform me of any mistakes.

Find the slope of the line containing the points (2,-5) and (-4,9)
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The slope would be -2  1/3 or -2.3 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

The first point would be (-4, 9). The next point is (2, -5). We can tell that the slope will be negative, because the x values increased by 6, but the y values decreased by 4.

The slope would be -2  1/3 or -2.3 repeating

I Hope That This Helps! :)

What is the percent of change from 6,000 to 60?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: 99% decrease

Step-by-step explanation: Since the number changes from 6,000 to 60, we know that it's decreasing. Now to find the percent decrease, we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between 6,000 and 60 and the original number is 6,000.

6,000 - 60 is 5,940 so we are left with \frac{5,940}{6,000} and dividing 6,000 into 5,940 gives us 0<em>.</em>99.

Finally, since the problem is asking us for the <em>percent</em>, we write 0.999 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 99%.

So when a number changes from 6,000 to 60, it has decreased by 99%.
