Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
You know what "y" equals, so you just need to insert the value into the equation, then solve for "x".
-13 = -3x + 2
-13 - 2 = -3x
-15 = -3x
5 = x
x = 5
The number of books that can be shelved is 45. So then we know that the amount that need to be shelved <em>can</em> be 45, if the bookshelf had 0 books on it. This means that it can have the equal part of the inequality sign.
However, the amount of book that need to be shelved cannot <em>exceed</em> 45, so b must be less than 45.
Therefore, the answer must be D) b ≤ 45.
2x - 3 < 9
+ 3
2x < 12
÷ 2
x < 6
Hope this helps!
Sure but where is the test?
