x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.  

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74
