Caren is making rice and beans. she can spend no more than $10
on the ingredients.

which situation is represented by the inequality 10≥4.99+0.74x
?

Hello there!

we know that caren cant spend more than $10 in ingredients, where the ingredients are rice and beans.

the situation given is: 10≥4.99+0.74x

So 10 is the max she can spend, she already spended 4.99 in one of the ingredients, and she want to know the number of portions, x, of the other ingredient that she can buy.

if we pass the 4.99 at the rigth side, we got:

10 - 4.99 ≥ 0.74*x

5.01 ≥ 0.73*x

now, we divide in both sides by 0.74

5.01/0.74 ≥ x

6.77 ≥ x

so Caren could buy, at max, 6 portions of the second ingredient, where i rounded down, because we need a whole number, and i cant round up because in that case she would spend more than $10.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
