I like the substitution method. Which is when you make one equation equal only x or y and plug it into the other equation)
There is also the graphing method. If you graphed it, it might not be quite as accurate (at least on hand, on computer you would be pretty exact)
Then there is the elimination method. You multiply one of the equations by a coefficient so that you can eliminate x or y from the equation.
Answer:
x <5
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4 x + 3) < 5 x + 21
Distribute
8x +6 < 5x +21
Subtract 5x from each side
8x -5x +6 < 5x-5x+21
3x +6 < 21
Subtract 6 from each side
3x+6-6 <21-6
3x <15
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 <15/3
x <5
First, let's write down this inequality:
<span>There are at least 245 students enrolled in the school.
y≥245
This inequality says what the sentence says!
now, the number of teachers must be:
x≥2*(y/25)
(two times the number of groups of students of 25!)
so those two inequalities, taken together will be the answer!
</span>
X=hours of plan A
y=hours of plan B
wed: 5x+6y=12
thu: 3x+2y=6
so
5x+6y=12 and
3x+2y=6
we can eliminate y's by multiplying 2nd equation by -3 and adding to first equation
-9x-6y=-18
<u>5x+6y=12 +</u>
-4x+0y=-6
-4x=-6
divid both sides by -4
x=-6/-4
x=3/2
x=1.5
sub back
3x+2y=6
3(1.5)+2y=6
4.5+2y=6
2y=1.5
y=0.75
Plan A=1.5 hours
Plan B=0.75 hours
