<h3>Answer:  x > 2</h3>

Work Shown:

5x - 14x < - 18

-9x < - 18

x > -18/(-9)

x > 2

The inequality sign flips when dividing both sides by a negative number.

Here's another approach you could take.

5x - 14x < - 18

-9x < -18

0 < -18+9x

18 < 9x

9x > 18

x > 18/9

x > 2

It's a slightly longer pathway, but it avoids a sign flip when you divide both sides by the positive number 9.

The sign flip happens two steps earlier when going from 18 < 9x to 9x > 18. In other words, A < B is the same as B > A.

Arisa [49]

The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.

The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.

The speed ratio is ...

... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1

so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...

... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.

Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
