1.) a>10
2.) a<3.5
How I got it: 1.) Subtract 3 from both sides, leaving -2a<10.
2.) Divide by -2 from both sides, remember to flip the inequality sign when dealing with negatives. This leaves you with a>10.
For number 2.) I divided both sides by 5, leaving a<3.5, though this answer may be wrong.
Answer:
6x+21 (Maybe)
Are you doing the buddy method, how is your teacher wanting to do this, When you respond I might have the correct answer
(buddy method) Multiply the 2x and 7 by the 3 giving you 6x+21 and then that's it you cant do anything else but I don't know if that's how you're teacher wants it done.
We can employ a simple repeated decimal trick:



###
Alternatively, we can compute the partial sum of the series.





As
, the second term vanishes and we're left with
. Notice that this is really just a more formal version of the earlier trick.
Let x = total sales of baked goods remember 20% = .20 as a decimal
so the equation would be .20x = $600
divide both sides by .20
.20x/.20 = $600/.20
x = $3000 the total sales of baked goods
CHECK: 20% times $3000 = .20 times $3000 = $600
Answer: d. He multiplied when he was supposed to divide
Step-by-step explanation:
He just multiplied across when he was supposed to divide (or cross multiply) to find the unit rate :)
