5q ≥ 8q - 3/2
<em><u>Add 3/2 to both sides.</u></em>
3/2 + 5q ≥ 8q
<em><u>Subtract 5q from both sides.</u></em>
3/2 ≥ 3q
<em><u>Multiply both sides by 2.</u></em>
3 ≥ 6q
<em><u>Divide both sides by 6.</u></em>
0.5 ≥ q.
The value of q is less than or equal to 0.5.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Hi there!
First you simplify.
Simplified = 9x+(−5)+(−8)+x
Then you combine the like terms.
<span><span><span><span><span>9x</span>+(<span>−5)</span></span>+(<span>−8)</span></span>+x (*-5 and -8 are like terms) (9x and x are like terms)
</span></span><span><span><span>Combined it's~ (<span><span>9x</span>+x</span>)</span>+<span>(<span><span>−5</span>+<span>−8</span></span>)
</span></span></span><span><span><span>Solve and that comes to 10x</span>+<span>−<span>13 which is your answer. :)
Hope this helps. 
</span></span></span></span>
        
             
        
        
        
Sally = 1/3
Jerry = 5/6
David = 1/2
Mona = 1 - 7/8 = 1/8
So, the biggest fraction among them is 5/6.
Jerry has completed the most work time.
