1.y + 3 >_ 5
???How do I solve this
2. Write an inequality to represent the information: The temperature stayed above 15°F
I think it is: t < 15 but I am sooo not sure
3. Gabriella went skiing. She paid $35 to rent skis and $15 an hour to to ski, if she paid a total of $95, how many hours did she ski? Write an equation to represent the situation and solve it. I think it's this: 95-35=60, 60/15=4 so she skied for 4 hours.
4. c/4-5=4
???? how do I solve this?
5. y-6 >_ 12
Is it 18.....I think....
#1 get y all by itself
#2 it says GREATER than so y > 15
start there : )
3 is correct : )
4 take the 5 to the other side then multiply both sides by 4
5 is correct : )
Okay...what about the rest, and what do you mean get y all by itself? Thanks- C. Renee
Okay thank you than one last thing what do you mean get y all by itself
Leave y on the left hand side of the inequality and move everything else over to the right hand side : )
Okay thank you MsPi_3.14159265! :-)
So would #1 be 8 because 5+3 is eight?
Not quite... to get the 3 off of the left hand side, you have to SUBTRACT it from both sides...
oh ok thanks! I will let you know if I have another question
1. To solve the inequality y + 3 ≥ 5, we need to isolate y.
Start by subtracting 3 from both sides of the inequality:
y + 3 - 3 ≥ 5 - 3
This simplifies to:
y ≥ 2
So, the solution to the inequality is y ≥ 2.
2. The correct inequality to represent the information "The temperature stayed above 15°F" is actually t > 15. The symbol ">" represents "greater than," and since we want the temperature to be above 15°F, we use the "greater than" symbol.
3. To represent the situation and solve the equation for Gabriella's skiing, let's assume she skied for x hours. We can then use the given information to create an equation.
The equation would be: 35 + 15x = 95. The first term, 35, represents the rental cost, and the second term, 15x, represents the cost of skiing for x hours.
To solve the equation and find how many hours Gabriella skied, we can follow these steps:
1. Subtract 35 from both sides of the equation:
35 + 15x - 35 = 95 - 35
This simplifies to:
15x = 60
2. Divide both sides of the equation by 15:
(15x)/15 = 60/15
This simplifies to:
x = 4
So Gabriella skied for 4 hours.
4. To solve the equation c/4 - 5 = 4, we need to isolate c.
Start by adding 5 to both sides of the equation:
c/4 - 5 + 5 = 4 + 5
This simplifies to:
c/4 = 9
Next, multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction:
(c/4) * 4 = 9 * 4
This simplifies to:
c = 36
So, the solution to the equation is c = 36.
5. To solve the inequality y - 6 ≥ 12, we need to isolate y.
Start by adding 6 to both sides of the inequality:
y - 6 + 6 ≥ 12 + 6
This simplifies to:
y ≥ 18
So, the solution to the inequality is y ≥ 18.
