Let's say x is longest side, y is shortest side and z is the other side. So we have some equations such that
(by the first sentence)
(by the second sentence)
(by the third sentence)
By the second equation, we have
and if we use it in the first equation, then
. So
Since
, if we use it in the third equation the we have
then
Therefore
-1 > -2(x-4) - 5(4x - 7)
-1 > -2x + 8 - 20x + 35
-1 > -22x + 43
-1 - 43 > - 22x
-44 > - 22x
-44/-22 < x
2 < x....or x > 2
Answer:
x + 2 < 6
x < 4
d represents the inequality
Answer:
Let's call:
f = price of 1 cup of dried fruit
a = price of 1 cup of almonds
In order to build the linear system, you need to consider that the total price of a bag is given by the sum of the price of cups times the number of cups in each bag, therefore:
Solve for a in first equation:
a = (6 - 3f) / 4
Then substitute in the second equation:
41/2 f + 6 · (6 - 3f) / 4 = 9
41/2 f + 9 - 9/2 f = 9
16 f = 0
f = 0
Now, substitute this value in the formula found for a:
a = (6 - 3·0) / 4
= 3/2 = 1.5
Hence, the cups of dried fruit are free and 1 cup of almond costs 1.5$
Step-by-step explanation:
