Question

Two questions
(use number sense to solve the equation)
1. 3x + 14 = 23
a. 3
b.6
c.9
d.4
2.
Your class collected more than 250 cans of food in two weeks for the annual food drive. In the first week, 115 cans were collected. How many cans c of food were collected in the second week? Write and solve an inequality.
A)115 + c < 250; c < 135

B) c + 115 > 250; c > 135

C) 115 + c >250; c > 365

D) c –115 ≥ 250; c > 365

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

3 x = 23 - 14
3 x = 9
x + x + x = 3 + 3 + 3
or in other words x = 9/3
x = 3
===========================
c +115 > 250
-115 = -115 add to both sides
is c > 135

Please try them and post what you tried so we can see why you are having trouble.
