Solve for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

A. x < -3 or x > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the equation -4x + 60 < 72.

-4x + 60 < 72

First using the order of operations, subtract 60 from both sides.

-4x + 60 - 60 < 72 - 60

- 4x < 12

Next we want to divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable.

-4x/-4 < 12/-4

x > -3

When you divide a negative number, always make sure the change the sign.

Solve the next equation, 14x + 11 < -31, the same way we solved the last.

14x + 11 < -31

Subtract 11 from both sides.

14x + 11 - 11 < -31 -11

14x < -42

Divide 14 from both sides.

14x/14 < -42/14

x < -3

The equations have different signs.

A. x < -3 or x > -3

at shop and shop ,shaquana buys 3 pounds of squash and 2 pounds of eggplants and pays $2.85.then ,evelyn buys 4 pounds of squash
Montano1993 [528]

Each pound of squash cost $0.49 while each pound of eggplant cost $0.69.

Let x represent the cost of each pound of squash and y represent the cost of each pound of eggplant.

3 pounds of squash and 2 pounds of eggplants cost $2.85. Hence:

3x + 2y = 2.85   (1)

4 pounds of squash and 5 pounds of eggplants cost $5.41. Hence:

4x + 5y = 5.41   (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 0.49, y = 0.69

Each pound of squash cost $0.49 while each pound of eggplant cost $0.69.

Solve - 2/5x is less than or equal to 20
sashaice [31]

Answer:

x is less than or equal to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

- you need to multiply both sides of the inequality by 5/2

- then you reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 5

- then you reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 2

- any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0

- so you get x is less than or equal to 0
