2)The goal is to isolate the variable and get is down to x<?. This is actually a two step inequality problem. 0.7x - 2 < 5.5 +2 +2 0.7x<7.5 This implies: x<10.714 The way to graph this is to place an open circle of the number 10.714 on the number line indicating this number is not included as a solution to the inequality. Then draw the arrow going left from the open circle indicating all numbers from -∞ to 10.714.
Is the question how long would the 185 petri dishes last because if so it would be about 15 days
Hope this helped ;)
I would say D. 10/16, 5/8
Hope This helps :)
