2x + 7 ≤ 3x - 5
Start by keeping the variable x on the left side of the inequality, and move everything else to the right side.
We can do this by subtracting 3x from both sides and subtracting 7 from both sides.
-x ≤ -12
Divide both sides by -1 to make x a positive; when dividing by a negative number you will flip the inequality sign, so ≤ becomes ≥.
x ≥ 12
Possible solutions for x are any number equal to or greater than 12.
Answer:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
You can write this another way:
2a + 3(a-5) = 5 ( I added the second formula in the first one )
Now you gotta factor out:
2a + 3a - 15 = 5
Here im gonna do plus 15
2a + 3a = 20 ==> 5a = 20
Now if you divide by 5, you get: a = 4
Now you can fill in the second formula again
b = a - 5 (ill fill this in now)
b = 4 - 5 = -1
So, this makes:
a = 4 , b = -1
