Answer:
There were (4x + 2) grapes in the bowl
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the total number of grapes in the bowl.
We have 3 people sharing the total
Damien are x grapes
Jake ate 1 more than twice what Damien and that is (1 + 2x) grapes
Makayla ate 5 fewer grapes than Damien: So what Makayla ate is (x-5) grapes
And now, we have 6 grapes left.
To find the total number of grapes in the bowl, we need to add up all what they ate plus what is left.
Mathematically, that would be;
x + 1 + 2x + x -5 + 6
= 4x + 2
-2x + 3 > 3(2x - 1)
the inequality sign > means 'greater than'.
First simplify the right side of the equation by distributing the 3 over the parentheses:-
-2x + 3 > 6x - 3
Now add -6x to both sides of the inequality which gives us
-8x + 3 > -3
Adding -3 to both sides we have
-8x > -6
The next step is to divide both sides by -8 so x is isolated on the left side and this gives us the solution. However there is a rule with inequalities that if you divide the variable term by a negative the inequality is flipped. So in this case , greater that (>) becomes less than (<):-
-8x / -8 < -6/-8
x < 3/4 is your answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of youth tickets purchased at the zoo.
Let y represent the number of adult tickets purchased at the zoo.
At the zoo, youth tickets cost $5 and adult tickets cost $9. A group spent a total of $90 on tickets. This means that
5x + 9y = 90
The domain of the relationship is the possible set of values of x and y that satisfies the equation. The domain of this relationship is
0 ≤ x ≤ 18
At x = 0, it means only adult tickets were purchased.
At x = 18, it means only youth tickets were purchased.
Answer:
(a) 3, 5 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In the experiment, 43 are to be given a gel that contains the tooth-whitening chemicals while the remaining 42 are to be given a placebo. Therefore, a placebo is used.
The 43 that will receive the gel are to be selected randomly.
After the experiment, the whiteness of the two groups will be compared to see the effect of the gel.
Therefore for the experiment to be completely random, 3, 5, and 6 apply.
(b)
For the experiment to be double-blind, the researchers who will evaluate the whiteness and interact with the subjects, and the subjects would not know which subjects received either the whitening gel or the placebo.
