You can factor 12 from both terms to get
X < -3 is what the answer is
Let 
be the amount (gal) of the 40% slime solution you end up using. You want to end up with 120 gal of the 50% solution, so that you would use 
gal of the 70% solution.
You want the final solution to consist of 50% slime, or 60 gal of slime. Each gal of the 40% solution contributes 0.4 gal of slime, while each gal of the 70% solution contributes 0.7 gal of slime. This means
so the answer is B.
Hello! So Brittany plans to sell car magnets that she purchased at $7.50 and mark them up by 30%. To find the new price, we can multiply 7.50 * 1.30. When multiplied, it gives us 9.75. Brittany is planning to charge $9.75 for the car magnets.
