<span>The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.</span>
Answer:
$125
Step-by-step explanation:
11,000 - 9,500 = 1,500
1,500 / 12 = 125 (we use 12 because 12 months = 1 year)
It is 15 meters long on each side.
You find the square root of 225 which is 15, because when you multiply 15 by 15 you get 225.
Answer:
3x-5> 6x- 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the blue ribbons be denoted by the letter x.
Then according to the given condition
3 times the blue ribbons = 3x
Decreased by 5 = 3x-5
is greater than
6 times the blue ribbons = 6x
decreased by 14 = 6x-14
Putting in one line
3x-5> 6x- 14
Solving the inequality
3x-5> 6x- 14
Taking both sides positive as in modulus
14-5 > 6x-3x
9> 3x
9/3 > x
3> x
Again solving for inequality
3x-5> 6x- 14
Taking one side negative that is mod
3x-5> -6x + 14
3x+ 6x > 14+5
9x> 19
x > 19/9
x > 2.11
so x lies between 2 and 3
3 > x > 2.11
Now putting the values for x= 19
3x-5> 6x- 14
57-5> 114-14
52 > 100 False
Now putting the values for x= 3
3x-5> 6x- 14
9-5> 18-14
4>4 False
Now putting the values for x= 2
3x-5> 6x- 14
6-5> 12-14
1> -2 True
There are 2 blue ribbons
