D + 5 >= 17
We can subtract 5 from each side:
d >= 12
To get 20 on the right, we have to add 8 to each side (20-12=8).
d + 8 >= 20
To get d - 5 from the first expression (d + 5 >= 17) we have to subtract ten from each side (5-10=-5) and we get:
d - 5 >= 7
The 3 is a positive integer and the 7 is a negative integer so you would do "KFC" also known as (Keep, Flip, and Change)
3
("Keep" the 3 positive)
-
("Flip"the minus sign into a plus sign)
-7
("Change" the negative sign into a positive sign)
So therefore, you would have:
3 + 7, which equals 10
Answer:
26/3 or 8.66666 (8.6 with a line over the 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the problem, 13/2 pounds is only 3/4 of a quart. A unit rate, however, has a denominator value of 1. To solve this question, we must change the value of 3/4 to 1.
The first step to this is changing 3/4 to 1/4. This means affecting the value 13/2 pounds. 1/4 is a third of 3/4. We must find a third of 13/2 to properly change this relationship. So, we should do 13/2 ÷ 3. This can also be written as 13/2*3. So, a third of 13/2 is 13/6. Our new relationship is 13/6 pounds = 1/4 quart.
Now, we can multiply 13/6 and 1/4 by 4 to get ? and 4/4, or 1. We can multiply the numerator by 4 to finish this step. 13/6 becomes 13*4/6, which equals 52/6. 52/6 can be divided by 2 to simplify the fraction and becomes 26/3.
So, the <em>unit rate of 13/2 pounds per 3/4 quart is 26/3</em>. 26/3 can also be written as 8.66666, or 8.6 with a line over the 6, in decimal form.
Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40
So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3
