Part A
The first thing we must do for this case is to rewrite both expressions.
We have then:
1/2 (7x + 48) = (7/2) x + 24
- [1 / 2x - 3] + 4 (x + 5) = - (1/2) x + 3 + 4x + 20 = (7/2) x + 23
Answer:
We note that the first expression is greater than the second for all values of x.
Part B:
A new expression that is greater than both written expressions is:
(7/2) x + 25
For all values of x, this expression is always greater.
Answer:
(7/2) x + 25
For this we almost have the following equation:

We must match the equation to zero:

From here, we clear the value of t.
We have then:

We discard the negative root because we are looking for time:
Answer:

seconds
Answer:
x = 128
Step-by-step explanation:
ill name the empty angle y for clarification
y + 38 + 90 = 180
y + 128 = 180
y = 52
180 - y = x
180 - 52 = x
x = 128
2/5 = 14/35
1/7 = 5/35
14/35 - 5/35 = 9/35
Answer: Jane ate 9/35 more pizza than Joe
Simply convert the fractions so that they will have the same denominator then subtract.
Answer: y= -2/9
Explanation:
21(2-y)+12y=44
42-21y+12y=44
42-9y=44
-9y=2
y=-2/9
