The answer is: " x < -3 " .
_____________________
Explanation:
_____________________
Given:
______________________
" 9(2x + 1) < 9x – 18 " ;
First , factor out a "9" in the expression on the right-hand side of the inequality:
9x – 18 = 9(x – 2) ;
and rewrite the inequality:
_____________________
9(2x + 1) < 9(x – 2) ;
Now, divide EACH SIDE of the inequality by "9" ;
[9(2x + 1)] / 9 < [9(x – 2)] / 9 ;
to get:
2x + 1 < x – 2 ;
Now, subtract "x" and add "2" to each side of the inequality:
2x + 1 – x + 2 < x – 2 – x + 2 ;
to get:
x + 3 < 0 ;
Subtract "3" from EACH SIDE ;
x + 3 – 3 < 0 – 3 ;
to get:
" x < -3 " .

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
120/2 = x/5....120 miles to 2 hrs = x miles to 5 hrs
cross multiply
(2)(x) = (120)(5)
2x = 600
x = 600/2
x = 300....the motorcyclist would travel 300 miles in 5 hrs
or u could do it this way..
120/2 = 60 miles per hr
60 * 5 = 300 miles
