Answer:

-5b <= -34

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality phrase, "at most" is same as "less than or equal to". So the algebraic inequality would be -5b <= -34. To solve for b, divide both sides by -5 and make sure to switch the inequality symbol to >= when dividing or multiplying inequalities by a negative number. So b >= 34 / 5.

Answer:

$B=\dfrac{T+9}{A}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 9 to both sides of the equation, and divide by the coefficient of B.

T = BA -9

T +9 = BA

(T +9)/A = B

We can rewrite that with B on the left:

B = (T +9)/A

A box of pencils is 5 1/4 inches wide. Seven pencils, laid side by side, take up 2 5/8 inches of the width. How many inches of t

Andre45 [30]

Answer: Width of box is not taken up by pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$

Width of each pencil $=\dfrac38\text{ inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Width of pencil box = $5\dfrac14\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{4}\text{ inches}$

Width of seven pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}=\dfrac{16+5}{8}\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}$

Width of box is not taken up by pencils = Width of pencil box - Width of seven pencils

$\left \{ {{y=2} \atop {x=2}} \right. \dfrac{21}{4}-\dfrac{21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21\times2-21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}=2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$
