Soro bought a $50. 00 bus card at the beginning of the week. Each bus ride costs $2. 50. He needs to have at least $20. 00 on hi

s card at the end of this month. To determine how many bus rides he can take between now and the end of this month, Soro wrote and solved the following inequality: 50 minus 2. 5 x greater-than-or-equal-to 20. Negative 2. 5 x greater-than-or-equal-to negative 30. X greater-than-or-equal-to 12. What error, if any, did Soro make when writing or solving this inequality? Soro’s original inequality should have been 50 minus 2. 5 x less-than-or-equal-to 20. Soro should have added 2. 5 to each side for his first step. Soro should have reversed the inequality symbol when using the division property of inequality. Soro’s work shows no errors.

The error Soro makes while solving inequality is that "Soro should have reversed the inequality symbol when using the division property of inequality".

<h3>What are inequalities?</h3>

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. Also, it helps us to compare the non-equal expressions so that an equation can be formed.

It is mostly denoted by the symbol <, >, ≤, and ≥.

The inequality is given as 50-2.5x≥20, now solving the inequality,

50-2.5x \geq 20\\\\\text{Subtract -50 from both the sides}\\\\50-2.5x -50\geq 20-50\\\\-2.5\geq -30

Divide both sides of the inequality by -2.5x, therefore, reverse the inequality symbol when using the division property of inequality.

\dfrac{-2.5x}{-2.5} \leq \dfrac{-30}{-2.5}\\\\x \leq 12

Hence, the error Soro makes when writing or solving inequality 50-2.5x≥20, is that "Soro should have reversed the inequality symbol when using the division property of inequality".

henry is mixing concrete. to make concrete he needs to mix cement, sand and gravel in the ratio 5 : 4 : 1 by weight. henry needs
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

cement by 5 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

add the parts of the ratio, 5 + 4 + 1 = 10 parts

Divide the quantity of concrete by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

110Kg ÷ 10 = 11Kg ← value of 1 part of ratio , thus

5 parts = 5 × 11Kg = 55Kg ← cement required

4 parts = 4 × 11Kg = 44Kg  ← sand required

1 part = 11Kg ← gravel required

He requires 55Kg of concrete but only has 50Kg.

He requires 44Kg of sand and has 55Kg

He requires 11Kg of gravel and has 15Kg

Thus he is 5Kg short of cement.

Find the values of x and y?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see a y in the diagram.

The 3 angles x, 90 and (4x - 10) lie on the line EF and sum to 180°, so

x + 90 + 4x - 10 = 180, that is

5x + 80 = 180 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

5x = 100 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 20
