Solve the inequality 6t>t+6. Enter your answer as an inequality with just t on the left side. For example, if the inequality

ahrayia [7]

Answer: t > 6/5

In decimal form, this would be t > 1.2

==============================================

Work Shown:

6t > t+6

6t-t > t+6-t ...... subtracting t from both sides

5t > 6

5t/5 > 6/5 .... dividing both sides by 5

t > 6/5

t > 1.2

How do I solve 3/4n+2/3=11/6

Leni [432]

Answer:

n=14/9

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4n+2/3=11/6

3/4n=11/6-2/3

3/4n=11/6-4/6

3/4n=7/6

n=(7/6)/(3/4)

n=(7/6)(4/3)

n=28/18

simplify

n=14/9
