- 8x + 44 ≥ 60
- 8x ≥ 60 - 44
- 8x ≥ 16
x ≤ - 2
- 4x + 50 < 58
- 4x < 58 - 50
- 4x < 8
x > - 2
Now put the two together. Logically, these two answers since a number cannot be both less than AND greater than - 2.
Your answer should be no solution.
Answer:
Pears: 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Constant:
3x + 5x + 2x = 150
10x = 150
x = 15
Multiply ratio with constant from above:
oranges : apples
3 * 15 : 5 * 15
45 : 75 ==> 45 oranges: 75 apples
pears : apples
2 * 15 : 5 * 15
30 : 75 ==> 30 pears: 75 apples
Check:
45 oranges + 75 apples + 30 pears = 150 fruits
To get the previous population you would have to multiply 9,300 by 38% (.38) and then add it to 9,300, or you can also multiply it by 138% (1.38) and still get the same answer but this step is only a one step the first is a two step process
