To determine the combined amount of cats sold: is equal to 117 cats

Let the number of Siamese cats sold be S.

Let the number of House cats sold be H.

Let the combined amount of cats sold be C.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Number of Siamese cats sold = 36

Ratio of S to H = 4:9

Total ratio = 4 + 9 = 13

To determine the combined amount of cats sold:

The ratio of Siamese cats sold is given by:

$\frac{4}{13} \times C=36\\\\4C=36\times 13\\\\4C =468\\\\C=\frac{468}{4}$

C = 117 cats

How do you solve the inequality 6y+3> -18x

Alex17521 [72]

$6y + 3 \ \textgreater \ - 18 x$

Subtract 3 from both sides:

$6 y + 3 - 3 \ \textgreater \ - 18 x - 3$

$6y \ \textgreater \ - 18 x - 3$

Dividade both sides by 6 :

$\frac{6y}{6} \ \textgreater \ \frac{-18x-3}{6}$

$y \ \textgreater \ \frac{-18x-3}{6}$

hope this helps!

Solve the inequality: 12p + 7 > 139

8_murik_8 [283]

If you would like to solve the inequality 12 * p + 7 > 139, you can do this using the following steps:

12 * p + 7 > 139
12 * p > 139 - 7
12 * p > 132 /12
p > 132/12
p > 11

The correct result would be p > 11.
