<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>
{x | x < -12 or x > -6}
=========================================================
Explanation:
Let's solve the first inequality for x.
(-2/3)x > 8
-2x > 8*3
-2x > 24
x < 24/(-2)
x < -12
The inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative value.
Let's do the same for the second inequality.
(-2/3)x < 4
-2x < 4*3
-2x < 12
x > 12/(-2)
x > -6
The conclusion of each section is that x < -12 or x > -6 which points us to <u>choice C</u> as the final answer.
Side note: The intervals x < -12 and x > -6 do not overlap in any way. There's a gap between the two pieces. We consider these intervals to be disjoint. The number line graph is below.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Since <XYZ and <YZX are said to be congruent, therefore, the side opposite to each of the angle are also equal. Therefore, ∆XYZ is an isosceles ∆.
Find the value of n by creating an equation to solve for n:
XY = (9n + 12) ft
XZ = (15n - 6) ft
XY = XZ (2 equal lengths of isosceles ∆)
9n + 12 = 15n - 6 (substitution)
Combine like terms
9n - 15n = - 12 - 6
-6n = -18
Divide both sides by -6
-6n/-6 = -18/-6
n = 3
Find the length of leg XY by substituting n = 3 into XY = (9n + 12) ft.
XY = (9(3) + 12) ft
XY = (27 + 12) ft
XY = 39 ft
Find the length of leg XZ by substituting n = 3 into XZ = (15n - 6) ft.
XZ = (15(3) - 6) ft
XZ = (45 - 6) ft
XZ = 39 ft
