Answer:
x is less than or equal to negative 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
so for now we should pretend that the greater than or equal to is an equal sign, and simplify the problem to get x alone on a side
remove 5 from each side
-x/3=1/3-5
-x/3=14/3
multiply both sides by 3
-x=14
x=-14
so we can now replace the equal sign with the equal or greater to, so x is less than or equal to -14
Answer:
The ratio of boys to girls is 4:5. So let 4x be the number of boys and 5x be the number of girls. Then 4x+5x = 9x is the total number of students. Then the fraction of boys in the class is 4x/9x = 4/9.
She would've put 11 dimes in each pile. 55/5=11
