The school paper charges $1.50 for an ad, plus 25 cents per word. Carl wants to spend only $12.00 on the ad. What is the maximum number of words that can be in his ad?

42 words

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve just solve 0.25x +1.50 = 12.00 for x

d < -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so the equation is  -5(d-2)>35

First we have to use distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis.

we do -5(d) --> -5d

then, -5(-2) --> 10

So now we just redo the equation---

-5d + 10 > 35

now you have to isolate d, the variable

First, to isolate you have to get rid of 10. Subtract 10 on both sides.

-5d + 10 > 35

      - 10    -10

-5d       >  25

Then you have -5d > 25. You have to do the opposite operation again to make the d by itself, so you divide -5 on each side.

   -5d > 25

    -5       -5

-5d/-5 is d because the -5's cancel out. 25/-5 is -5. Now, you have to flip the equation because when working with inequalities, you have to flip the symbol.

SO,,, the answer is

d < -5

Hope this helps!!
