Sue has 18 pieces of candy tony has 18 pieces of candy
sue then gives some to tony
sue then eats five of hers
tony eats half of his
write the expressions for the number of pieces candy sue and tony now have?

Sue candy = 13 - x

Tony candy = 9 + 1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Sue candy = 18

Tony candy = 18

Let x = some candy gives to tony

Sue candy = 18 - x

Tony candy = 18 + x

sue then eats five of hers

Sue candy = 18 - x - 5

= 13 - x

tony eats half of his

Tony candy = 1/2(18 + x)

= 18/2 + x/2

= 9 + 1/2x

Expressions for the number of pieces candy sue and tony now have:

Sue candy = 13 - x

Tony candy = 9 + 1/2x

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
