For this case we can algebraically rewrite the expression given as:

Where:
x: Represents the unknown number
Subtracting 8 from both sides of the inequality we have:

Dividing between 4 on both sides of the inequality:

We multiply by -1 on both sides taking into account that the sense of inequality changes:

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 ÷ 4
We use copy dot flip
The flip means make a reciprocal of the second number
2/3 * 1/4
Multiply the numerators
2*1 = 2
Multiply the denominators
3*4 =12
Put the numerator over the denominator
2/12
Simplify
1/6
Answer:
Lixin obtains 15 marks
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets write two equations based on the question where: <u>D= Devi and L=Lixin</u>
D=L+15 <em>- "devi scores 15 marks more than lixin"</em>
D=2L <em>- "devi obtains twice as many marks as lexin"</em>
Now, substitute 2L as D in the first equation we wrote: (D=L+15)
2L=L+15
Next, subtract L from both sides:
<u>L=15</u>
The answer simplified is 6
