So we are trying to get the “y” alone, so to undo the division by -8, we will multiply both sides by -8, then simplify.
(-8) y/(-8) = (-8) 1/16
y = -8/16
and simplified:
y = -1/2
I was going to answer but she gave you the answer sooo
Answer:
5x + 32 < 50
Step-by-step explanation:
On a particular airline, bags checked in must weigh less than 50 pounds. Betty packed 32 pounds of clothes and five gifts that weigh the same amount.
If each gift weighs w pounds, then the weight of five gifts will be 5w pounds and an additional 32 pounds of clothes will make it total (32 + 5w) pounds.
Now, this total weight has to be less than 50 pounds.
Therefore, the inequality equation that can be used to find the possible weight of each gift, w is
5x + 32 < 50 (Answer)
5 - 1.25 = 3.75
