\left[x \right] = \left[ 5\right][x]=[5]2(x+1)/−2 = 8−2 _________
_________ Simplifying
\left[x \right] = \left[ 2\right][x]=[2] = x + 1 + -4
x = -5
Answer:
x > -5 in the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
(5 - 3x) / 4 < 5
multiplying both sides by 4:-
5 - 3x < 20
-3x < 15
x > 15/-3
x > -5 (Note the inequality sign is flipped because we are dividing by a negative number)
It lies between -3 and -4.
An integer is any whole number, positive or negative.
Answer:
[2] x = -5y - 4
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 2•(-5y-4) - 5y = 22
[1] - 15y = 30
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 15y = - 30
[1] y = - 2
// By now we know this much :
x = -5y-4
y = -2
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = -5(-2)-4 = 6
Solution :
{x,y} = {6,-2}

Step-by-step explanation:
Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:
Tool #1: 37-1/2 percent means 0.375
Tool #2: In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".
====================================
Your question says
"37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".
Translate it with your tools:
0.375 times blank = 36 .
Divide each side by 0.375: Blank = 36 / 0.375 .
Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division). Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.
To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):
Do exactly what the question says.
Multiply (0.375) times (your answer). If you get 36,
then your answer is correct. If not, it's not.
