Answer:
3 < x < 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve each part separately
2x - 1 > 5 ( add 1 to both sides )
2x > 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x > 3 , that is
3 < x
and
3x - 5 < 19 ( add 5 to both sides )
3x < 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x < 8
Then putting the two together
3 < x < 8
1 is the closest to 0 on the number line. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!
Let red marbles = X.
The probability is 1 out of 5, written as 1/5
1/5 in terms of red marbles is equal to the number of red marbles divided by 5x, where 5x is the total number of marbles.
1/5 = x/5x
Now you have 5x total marbles, x red and 4x blue.
Add 5 more red and the new probability is:
(x+5)/(5x+5) = 1/3
Simplify:
3x+15 = 5x+5
Now solve for x:
Subtract 3x from both sides:
15 = 2x +5
Subtract 5 from each side:
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10/2
X = 5
There were originally 5 red marbles.
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is
28/8 = 7/2
We take the ratio of the larger side over the smaller side
Using ratios we can find the sides
28 21
----- = ---------
8 x
Using cross products
28x = 21*8
28x =168
Divide each side by 28
28x/28 = 168/28
x =6
Answer:
y=5x−83y=x+18 (the question is wrong; it has 2 equal signs)
y+5(3)=15
y+15=15 (multiply 5*3; you get 15)
y= 15-15
y= 0
