2x + 7 ≤ 3x - 5
Start by keeping the variable x on the left side of the inequality, and move everything else to the right side.
We can do this by subtracting 3x from both sides and subtracting 7 from both sides.
-x ≤ -12
Divide both sides by -1 to make x a positive; when dividing by a negative number you will flip the inequality sign, so ≤ becomes ≥.
x ≥ 12
Possible solutions for x are any number equal to or greater than 12.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
9x - 8(x - 6) = 52
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute -8: 9x - 8x + 48 = 52
- Combine like terms: x + 48 = 52
- Subtract 48 on both sides: x = 4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
9(4) - 8(4 - 6) = 52
36 - 8(-2) = 52
36 + 16 = 52
52 = 52
The chef will be able to prepare 3 servings of pasta because if you take one away from a whole number you have 9/10ths so you do that process again you have 2 servings but, you have 2 tenths left over so you add that to the 7 tenths.
Hope this helps :)
