Answer:

  10-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the length of one side of the square, the total width of the cardboard has two squares cut from it. The amount of width remaining is the width of the box. Since the original width of the cardboard is 10, the width of the box is ...

Solve for x.<br><br><br>−4/5x+3/10&lt;8/10
Deffense [45]

Answer:

x > -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify by combining x and 4/5 and then moving 4 to the left side of x

-x * 4/5 + 3/10 < 8/10

-4x/5 + 3/10 < 8/10

Now we cancel the common factor of 8 and 10.

Factor 2 out of 8

-4x/5 + 3/10 < 2(4)/10

2 from 10

-4x/5 + 3/10 < 4/5

Now move all the terms not containing x to the right side

Lets subtract 3/10 from both sides

-4x/5 < 4/5 - 3/10

Now we multiply by 2/2 to write 4/5 with a common denomi.

-4x/5 < 4/5 * 2/2 - 3/10

Now write with a common denom of 10 and multiply by 1

-4x/5 < 4*2/5 * 2 - 3/10

5 by 2

-4x/5 < 4 * 2/10 - 3/10

Combine

-4x/5 < 4 * 2 - 3/10

Simplify the numerator by multiplying then subtracting

-4x/5 < 8 - 3/10

-4x/5 < 5/10

Cancel the common factor of 5 and 10...

-4x/5 < 5(1)/10

-4x/5 5* 1/5 * 2

-4x/5 < 1/2

Now we divide by -1

-4x/5)/-1 > 1/2)/-1

4x/5 > 1/2)-1

4x/5 > -1/2

Multiply both sides by 5 and cancel common factors. (5)

4x * 5 > -1/2 * 5

4x > -1/2 * 5

4x > -5/2

Now divide by 4 in each term

4x/4 > -5/2)/4

x > -5/2)/4

Multiply the numer by the reciprocal of the denom

x > -5/1 * 1/4

x > -5/4 * 2

x > -5/8
