I think the answer is D because its multiplying by 2 each time
7x + 6 < 3(x - 2)
7x + 6 < 3x - 6
7x - 3x < -6 - 6
4x < -12
x < -12/4
x < -3
<span>{x | x < -3}</span>
Part A:
6 2/3 *3 1/2 = 4 1/4 * x
Part B:
20/3 * 7/2 = 17/4 *x
x=20/3 * 7/2 * 4/17
x=(20*7*4) / (3*2*17)
x=560 / 102
<span>x= 5 25/51</span>
The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.
Let x represent the length and y represent the width, hence:
Since beth has 48 ft fencing and cover 3 sides, hence:
x + 2y = 48
x = 48 - 2y (1)
Also:
Area (A) = xy
A = (48 - 2y)y
A = 48y - 2y²
The maximum area is at A' = 0, hence:
A' = 48 - 4y
48 - 4y = 0
y = 12 feet
x = 48 - 2(12) = 24
The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.
