*Translate into an algebraic expression: a How much 50% sugar syrup can you make if you have x grams of sugar ?

You can make a solution with x grams of sugar and y grams of water mixing them, and the mass of the solution will be M = (x + y).

And the percentage of sugar in the solution is equal to

(x/M)*100% = 50%.

(x/(M)) = 50%/100% = 0.5

M = x/0.5

Then, if you have x grams of sugar, you can make a solution of mass M = x/0.5

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
