There are 3 ounces of plums, 4 ounces of peaches, and 9 ounces of apples
Our inequality is 3(x-1) - 4x ≥-3. We can solve this like we solve for x in a regular equation. If I multiply 3(x-1), our new inequality is 3x -3 - 4x ≥ -3. If we add 3 to both sides and subtract 4x from 3x we have -x ≥ 0. But we want the value of x to be positive, not negative. So we multiply both sides by -1 and change the sign from greater than to less than. We get x<span> ≤ </span>0.
X is less than 4.
Just simplify each side and solve for the variable.
First add 9 to both sides.
24 is greater than 6x
Then divide 6
4 is less than 6
