Inequalities and equations use similar steps to solve, but inequalities give a range of numbers that can represent the variable while an equation will give a direct answer.
Example:
4+5x=24
First you would subtract 4 or add the opposite of 4 from 24.
4+5x=24
+(-4) +(-4)
—————
5x=20
Then divide each side by 5 or multiply each side by the reciprocal of 5 to isolate the variable.
1/5*5x=20*1/5 (reciprocal)
X= 4
You would use the same steps in an inequality but end up with a different sign.
Answer:
x+
y+5=0
Step-by-step explanation:
the intersection of x-2y=0 and 3x+y+5 is (
;
)
=> the line : x+y+5=0
The given equation is:
t = 7 + 5q
where:
t is the total number of points
q is the questions answered correctly
We are given that the total of correct answers is 6 and we want to find the total number of points. Therefore, all we have to do is substitute with the number of answers in the given equation to get the total points as follows:
t = 7 + 5q
t = 7 + 5(6)
t = 7 + 30
t = 37 points
2 oranges cost $2 . $9 - $2 = $7
then 12 apply of Lisa and 6 apples of Jeremy
= 18 ÷ 7 = 2.57. $2.57 for 6 apples
2.57 ÷ 6 = 0.43 each apple
