Answer:
x < -22/9
Step-by-step explanation:
(-9x/11) - 7 < -5 (add 7 to both sides)
(-9x/11) < -5 + 7
-9x/11 < 2 (multiply both sides by 11)
-9x < 2(11)
-9x < 22 (divide both sides by -9)
x < -22/9 (answer)
edit: typos galore!
23 3/4. because if it was 0.25, then you know that it is a quarter, 0.50 is half, therefore 0.75 is three quarters
Since Carmen gives two coins to Frankie for every five that she gets, she effectively only gains 3 coins at a time. Therefore, if she has 9 coins, Frankie must have 6.
Answer:
<em>7, 22</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let S = the smaller number.
"The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number."
The larger number is 3S + 1.
The difference between the numbers is 15, so the larger number minus the smaller number equals 15.
3S + 1 - S = 15
2S + 1 = 15
2S = 14
S = 7
The smaller number is 7.
larger number = 3S + 1 = 3(7) + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22
The larger number is 22.
9x^2 and 5x are not like terms because 9x is being squared and 5x isn't.
