Error is between steps 4 and 5. It should say:
Step 4: -9x < 27
Now divide by -9
Step 5: x > -3
Note that the inequality changes direction.
When you mean multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality changes direction.
For example:
4 < 5
Multiply by -1:
-4 > -5
Another example:
-5 < 0
5 > 0
Question A is b and question B is d
You want to break this down.
“5 less than” means you’ll subtract 5 from something.
That something is “3 times a number.” “3 times a number” means 3•x or 3x, since we’ll use x for that unknown number.
So, “5 less than 3 times a number” means “subtract 5 from 3x”: 3x-5
“Is” means “equals”. So 3x-5= something.
7, well, that’s 7.
So “5 less than 3 times a number is 7” means ”subtract 5 from 3x and set that equal to 7.”
3x-5=7
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to first add up all the berries: 2+2+5+7+9 which is 25.
There are 5 people so you need to divide 25 by 5: 25÷5 which is 5
So each person will have 5 berries each.
