Question

solve for X:
x + 2x + 20 = 50

Answer 1

During Year 4, bad weather keeps Roger from finding the exact number of
bears in the park. However, he knows that y+5>38, where y is the number
of bears in the park during Year 4. Solve the inequality, and give three
possible values for y.

Answer 2

Combine like terms:

3x + 20 = 50

Subtract 20 from both sides:

3x = 30

Divide by 3:

x = 10

Therefore, x = 10.

Answer 3

To solve the inequality y + 5 > 38, we need to isolate y.

Subtract 5 from both sides:

y > 33

Therefore, y must be greater than 33. Here are three possible values for y:

1. y = 34
2. y = 40
3. y = 50

These are possible values for the number of bears in the park during Year 4 when y must be greater than 33.
