Alicia cashed her paycheck and used half her earnings to take three friends to dinner. she spent $42.15 on dinner and she brought home more than $20.00. write an inequality to represent the situation, using x to represent the amount of alicia's paycheck

If you would like to write an inequality to represent the situation, you can do this using the following steps:

x ... the amount of Alicia's paycheck

x/2 - $42.15 >= $20
x/2 >= $20 + $42.15
x/2 >= $62.15     /*2
x >= $62.15 * 2
x >= $124.3

The correct result would be x >= $124.3.

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
