30 in each bus. 17 in each van

To solve this problem, we first have to create a system of equations. After that, you set the equations equal to each other, and use that to simplify and find the value of one variable. Once that is found that answer can be plugged into one of the two original equations to find the other variable.

Which are correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x)? Select two options.

avanturin [10]

The correct simplified inequality is - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x and the number line representation is "an open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right".

The given inequality is -3(2x - 5) < 5(2 - x)

We need to simplify the inequality.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

In mathematics, inequality is a statement of an order relationship greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

Consider LHS and simplify -3(2x - 5) = -3(2x)-5(-3)

⇒ -3(2x - 5) = - 6x + 15 [∵(-)(-) = (+)]

Consider RHS and simplify 5(2 - x) = 5(2) + 5(-x)

⇒5(2 - x) = 10 - 5x [∵(+)(-) = (-)]

Now, - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

By subtracting 15 from both sides, we get

- 6x < -5 - 5x

By adding 5x to both sides, we get - x < - 5

The coefficient of x is -1. So, divide both sides by -1

Then we get x > 5

Hence, the correct simplified inequality is - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x and the number line representation is "an open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right".

Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of

ohaa [14]

The answer would be d , because you have to add how many of each fish to equal up to the sum of 420 . which is x y . so the first equation is x + y = 420 . then it says he bought 6 times as many parrotfish as he did angelfish so you would have to multiply x which represents angelfish by 6 . to get the second equation of y = 6x .
