Hi there! Marcie made a mistake in the last step of the solving process.
Let's solve this problem step by step!
−2(x − 5) − 12 ≤ 4 + 6(x + 3)
First work out the parenthesis, which can for instance be done using rainbow method.
−2x + 10 − 12 ≤ 4 + 6x + 18
The parenthesis are worked out correctly. Remember that multiplying a negative by a negative gives you a positive.
Now we can collect the terms.
−2x − 2 ≤ 6x + 22
The terms are collected correctly.
Next up is subtracting 6x from both sides and adding 2 to both sides of the inequality.
−8x ≤ 24
This step is also correct.
Finally we must divide both sides of the inequality by -8 to find our answer. Be aware of the fact that the sign flips when dividing by a negative!
x ≤ −3
Mistake! Marcie forgot to flip the sign. Instead the answer should be
~ Hope this helps you!

Answer:
DC = 21 ; BC = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by :
P = 2(length + width)
2x + 3
3x - 1
Perimeter, P = 94
Hence,
94 = 2(2x +3 + (3x - 1))
94 = 2(2x + 3 + 3x - 1)
94 = 2(5x + 2)
94 = 10x + 4
94 - 4 = 10x
90 = 10x
x = 90 /10
x = 9
DC = 2x + 3 = 2(9) + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21
BC = 3x - 1 = 3(9) - 1 = 27 - 1 = 26
