3 - 2x > 17 subtract 3 from both sides

-2x > 14 change the signs

2x < -14 divide both sides by 2

x < -7

5x - 3 > 17 add 3 to both sides

5x > 20 divide both sides by 5

x > 4

Solution: x < -7 or x > 4 → x ∈ (-∞, -7) ∪ (4, ∞) or the graph in the answer A.

Each year the residents of a country purchase 60 billion ice cream cones. If there are 252 million people in the country, how many ice cream cones are purchased per person in one year?

Answer: Number of ice cream cones purchased by the residents = 60 billion

60 billion = 60,000,000,000

Number of residents in the country = 252 Million

252 Million = 252,000,000

Therefore, the number of ice cream cones purchased per person in one year is:

$\frac{Total-Ice-cream-cones-purchased}{Total-number-of-residents}$

$\frac{60,000,000,000}{252,000,000}$

$238.10 \approx 238$ ice cream cones

From your knowledge of equilateral triangles, you know that an altitude is also a median. The long side of a 30°-60°-90° triangle is twice the length of the shortest side.

The ladder is 14 ft long.
