</span><span>The equation given in the statement is;
4/5+3/x=1/2
This equation can be solved as follows:
4/5+3/x=1/2
3/x=1/2-4/5=(5-8)/10
3/x= -3/10
Taking the reciprocal on both side of the equation;
x/3=-10/3
Multiplying by 3 both sides we get;
</span><span>x= -10

Answer:
4. 54- 8.5x>20
Step-by-step explanation:
Catherine only has $54, so she cannot spend more than that.
The canvas will cost at least $20, but we don't know how much exactly.
The tubes cost $8.50 each.
So, she starts with a total budget of $54, out of which she will buy paints (8.5x) and she wants to have at least $20 left for canvas.
So, we transpose those facts into the inequity:
54 - 8.5x > 20
Answer:
-439
Step-by-step explanation:
(s circle t) (negative 7) is a notation for a compound function.
A compound function is a function that has as an argument another function.
Another notation for this compound function is s(t(-7)), that is, the result of the function t(-7) is the value that will be used in the function s(x).
So, first we calculate the value of t(-7):
t(x) = 3x
t(-7) = 3*(-7) = -21
Now, we apply this value for s(x):
s(x) = 2 - x2
s(t(-7)) = s(-21) = 2 - (-21)^2 = 2 - 441 = -439
We have been given a system of inequalities and an objective function.
The inequalities are given as:

And the objective function is given as:

In order to find the minimum value of the objective function at the given feasible region, we need to first graph the region.
The graph of the region is shown below:
From the graph, we can see that corner points of the feasible region are:
(x,y) = (15,30),(30,15) and (30,60).
Now we will evaluate the value of the objective function at each of these corner points and then we will compare which of those values is minimum.

Hence the minimum value of objective function is 975 and it occurs at x = 15 and y = 30
He get 125% more than he spent for it. So he got 25% more.
