To estimate, you should round some of the numbers to the closest number (rounding up or down). It will be more accurate the less you round. In this problem, we should round -5 1/4 to -5 since it is the closest. -5*-3/2 = 7.7. You will end up with -3/2x (-5 1/4) ≈ 7.5x
≈ means approximately equal.
4y ≥ 3x + 2
Plugging in the values in the options, then the required values are when x = 6 and y = 5, then
4(5) ≥ 3(6) + 2
20 ≥ 18 + 2
20 ≥ 20
19% is 19/100 and there is nothing that can go into these numbers evenly so this is the simplest form
1. x <= 31
2. x < 28
For number 1, x is less than or equal to 31 because the number of days in a month (represented by x) will be less than or equal to 31.
For number 2, x is less than 28 because the number of students (represented by x) in each class will always be less than 28.
