Answer:
b>44
Step-by-step explanation:
12/5<b-8/15
switch sides b-8/15>12/5
multiply both sides by 15 15(b-8)/15>12*15/5
simplify b-8>36
add 8 to both sides b-8+8>36+8
simplify
b>44

Answer:</h3>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We can let the variables A and B stand for the length in inches of fish A and fish B, respectively.
If we assume each person bought fish having a total length of 1 inch per gallon of aquarium, then we can write equations ...
... 3A +2B = 33 . . . . . total length of Marta's fish
... 3A +4B = 45 . . . . . total length of Hank's fish
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...
... 2B = 12
... B = 6 . . . . . divide by 2
Using this value in the first equation, we have ...
... 3A + 2·6 = 33
... 3A = 21 . . . . . . . . subtract 12
... A = 7 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Fish A is 7 inches long; fish B is 6 inches long.
Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
Using the information given in the question we can form the following 3 equations (in the order of the first 3 sentences)
w = 2h (twice the price)
t = h - 4 ($4 less)
3w + 2h + 5t = 136 (total purchasing and cost)
We can solve all 3 equations for h first, by substituting the first two equations, into the third equations w and t
3(2h) + 2h + 5(h-4) = 136
Simplify
6h + 2h + 5h - 20 = 136
13h = 136 + 20
13h = 156
h = 156/13
h = $12
Using this information, we can solve for w and t
w = 2h
w = 2(12)
w = $24
And finally
t = h - 4
t = 12 - 4
t = $8
3/4 (x+8)=9
3/4x+6=9
-6
3/4x=3
X=4
Check
3/4(4+8)=9
3/4 (12)=9
9=9
