Simplify both sides if needed. The left-hand side needs simplification.
4(x - 6)

-2x + 6
4x - 24

-2x + 6
All is left to do is add and subtract to get the x variable all alone.
4x - 24

-2x + 6
6x - 24

6 <-- Add 2x to both sides
6x

30 <-- Add 24 to both sides
x

5 <-- Divide both sides by 6
In order to be in the solution set, x has to be less than or equal to 5.
In interval notation: [5, -∞)
Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is not because 20 is not a perfect square.
Answer:
Large books = 11
Small books = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + 5y = 107
7x = 107 - 5y
x = 107/7 - 5y/7
5x + 7y = 97
5 (107/7 - 5y/7) + 7y = 97
535/7 - 25y/7 + 7y = 97
535/7 + 24y/7 = 97
535 + 24y = 679
24y = 679 - 535
y = 144/24 = 6: So x =
7x + 5(6) = 107
7x = 107-30
x = 77-7 = 11
