This might look hard at first, but if you break it down into parts, it will be much easier. With that said, start with what you know. You see that the word problem says "the difference of y and 9", which means that you have to stubtract them. So, part of the equation is going to be y - 9. Now to look at the rest of the word problem. It says to divide by 3, so now you have to take what you have so far and divide that by 3. This means that you are going to have to divide the y - 9 by 3.
Your answer should be:
y - 9 / 3

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
the pattern is -6 to get the next number
Answer
-11/3>x>7/3
Step-by-step explanation:
|3*7/3+2|=9
|7+2|=9
|9|=9
9=9
therefore, x must be > 7/3
|3*-11/3+2|=9
|-11+2|=9
|-9|=9
9=9
therefore, x must be < -11/3
This makes sense to me: m=(y-6)/3
m is the number of muffins each friend gets, y is the original quantity of muffins, -6 is = to the number of muffins you freeze, and the /3 is to split the remaining (unfrozen) muffins equally.
Answer:
The solution set for the inequality is the interval (-4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 < 8 + 4x < 28
Subtracting 8:
-8 -8 < 8 + 4x - 8 < 28 - 8
-16 < 4x < 20
Dividing by 4:
-16/4 < 4x/4 < 20/4
-4 < x < 5
x ∈ (-4, 5)
