Answer:

270 = number who get news from print sources

630 =  number who get news from social media

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 3x = number who get news from print sources

and 7x = number who get news from social media

Then 3x + 7x = 900

10x = 900

x = 90

3x = 3(90) = 270 = number who get news from print sources

7x = 7(90) = 630 =  number who get news from social media

Check:  270/630 = 3/7 and 270 + 630 = 900

An inequality has g=1 as a solution, but g=2 is not a solution . What is the inequality?
timama [110]
We know 1 is a solution, but 2 is not.
We also know that 1 is 'less than' 2
Key words: less than
That means are inequality will be: g<2
Now if we plug 2 in for g it will say:2<2 
We know two is not less than two, two is equal to two.
Now let's plug 1 in for g: 1<2
So we know 1 is less than 2. Therefore, this inequality is true.
Hope that helped :)

Answer:

yes, they do have enough flour for both recipes

Step-by-step explanation:

they have a total of 4 cups of flour, one needs 2 1/3 cups and the other person needs 1 3/4 cups.
