Thus, Scott will take 26 days to complete the novel.
2-4 Writing Linear Equations
Solve each inequality.
51.
SOLUTION:
Add 2x and 4 to each side of the inequality.
49.
SOLUTION:
Divide each side by –4.
The line passes through the points (0, 4) and (10, 6).
Substitute
and
in the slope formula
.
52.
SOLUTION:
Multiply both sides of the inequality by 5.
Add 15x to each side.
50. RECREATION Scott is currently on page 210 of
an epic novel that is 980 pages long. He plans to read
Subtract 2 from each side
30 pages per day until he finishes the novel. Write
.
and solve a linear relation to determine how many
days it will take Scott to complete the novel.
SOLUTION:
Divide each side of the inequality by 16.
Let x be the number of days.
The equation to determine the number of days Scott
will take to complete the novel is 30x + 210 = 980.
Solve the equation for x.
53.
SOLUTION:
Multiply both sides of the inequality by 15.
Thus, Scott will take 26 days to complete the novel.
Solve each inequality.
Subtract 12x and 15 from each side
