Let x = 1st number and y = 2nd number
Using the sentences:
The sum of two numbers is 51:  x + y = 51
one fourth of one number exceeds one fifth of another number by 6:
(1/4)x > (1/5)y + 6

This means y is the smaller number.
From x + y = 51 → x = 51 - y
Plug into the inequality
(1/4)(51 - y) > (1/5) y + 6
Multiply each side by 20
5(51 - y) > 4y + 120
251 - 5y > 4y + 120 
-9y > -131
y < \frac{131}{9}

A baseball team wants to collect at least 160 cans of food for an upcoming food drive. Team members brought 42 cans of food on M
Irina18 [472]
If they collect 65 on Monday, 42 on Wednesday and the rest on Friday, then we can write it down as:

65 + 42 + x ≥ 160
107 + x ≥ 160                 / - 107 (both sides)
x ≥ 53

So the team needs to collect at least 53 cans on Friday.
