How can expressions be written and evaluated to solve for unknowns in the real world?
Writing expressions requires figuring out which quantity in a situation is unknown, and define a variable to represent that quantitiy.
We look for words in the problem that will help us out what kind of operation to use in a given situation.
Example:
Donna bought 5 chocolate bars, and then ate some. Write an expression to represent how many chocolate bars Donna has left.
If we let the variable c represent the number of chocolates Donna has eaten, then we can write the expression on how many bars Donna has left as: 5 - c
In this question, you're solving the inequality for x.
Solve:
-1/3(6x - 15) + 6x > 8x - 11
Distribute the -1/3 to the variables in the parenthesis.
-2x + 5 + 6x > 8x - 11
Combine like terms
4x + 5 > 8x - 11
Subtract 8x from both sides
-4x + 5 > - 11
Subtract 5 from both sides
-4x > -16
Divide both sides by -4, while also flipping the inequality, since you're dividing by a negative.
x < 4
Answer:
x < 4
Answer:
-10
Step-by-step explanation:
-12+15=3
(-30)+17=-13
3+(-13)=-10
Answer:
(4) 29, 33, 37
(6) 53, 59, 65
(5) -16, -20, -24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are a 100 cents in a dollar. the 100 is the denominator.
46/100, reduce; 23/50, can't be reduced any further. so 23/50 is the fraction.
