Question

the quotient of five times a number 7 is no more than 10​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x \ge3.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the given in the form of a mathematical equation rather than words. I'll call the mystery number given in the question $x$:

$\frac{5*7}{x} \leq 10$

Simplify:

$\frac{35}{x} \leq 10$

Solve for x:

$\frac{35}{x} *x\leq 10*x$

Simplify the fraction:

$35\leq 10x$

Divide by 10 to isolate x:

$\frac{35}{10} \leq x$

Flip the equation around to make it easier to read:

$x \ge \frac{35}{10}$

Simplify the fraction:

$x \ge \frac{7}{2}$ or $x \ge3.5$
