25 > 2x + 8 - 66
first simplify all numbers
25 > 2x + (8 - 66)
25 > 2x - 58
Then add 58 to both sides
25 (+58) > 2x - 58 (+58)
83 > 2x
Finally divide 2 from both sides to isolate the x
83/2 > 2x/2
41.5 > x
hope this helps

Answer:
27 miles in the morning and 85 miles in the afternoon.
Explanation:
Let m be the number of miles they rode in the morning. They rode 4 more than 3 times this many in the afternoon; this gives us the expression
3m+4
to represent the miles ridden in the afternoon.
Together they rode 112 miles; this means we add the morning miles, m, to the afternoon miles, 3m+4, and get 112:
m+3m+4 = 112
Combine like terms:
4m+4 = 112
Subtract 4 from each side:
4m+4-4= 112-4
4m = 108
Divide both sides by 4:
4m/4 = 108/4
m = 27
They rode 27 miles in the morning.
That means in the afternoon, they rode
3m+4 = 3(27)+4 = 81+4 = 85 miles.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve using completing square, we need to write the equation as x2+3x=17.
The next step is to add a number such that the square can be completed. The number must be equal to (b/2a)^2, so here it will be (3/2)^2 = 9/4
The equation then becomes x2+3x+(9/4)=17+(9/4).
Solving it further will get you the final answer
