Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, let's use a ratio of gallons of gas to miles the car is able to travel.

160 miles / 5 gallons is equal to 96 miles / x gallons, or 160/5 = 96/x.

Cross multiply to get 160x = (5)(96)

Multiply the 96 by the 5 to get 160x = 480

Divide both sides by 160 to get x = 3.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to solve this is by subtracting 2x from both sides. Now we have

2x-5=7

Then we add 5 from both sides. Now we have

2x=12

We do this because we want X by itself

Then we divide by 2 on both sides and now we have

x = 6

Which graph represents the solution set of this inequality?<br><br> please help!!!
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

C is the correct answer due to two-step inequality process

Step-by-step explanation:

Your inequality is: 5a + 18 < -27

First,  you must remember that the < or > shall not be shaded in.

You could automatically eliminate answer A.

Now you need to do two-step inequalities which is the same thing as two-step equations but with an inequality sign.

5a + 18 < -27

5a < -27-18

5a < -45

**Now, here's something important: If you are multiplying with negatives while dealing with inequalities you must switch the sign to its opposite.

-9 > a

You need to find a number line that has numbers less than -9. It could be -10, -11, -12, -122, etc.

C is the correct answer.
