Let's solve the first inequality at first. So,
−2(x + 4) + 10 < x − 7
-2x- 8 + 10 < x - 7 By distribution property.
-2x + 2 < x - 7 Adding the like terms.
-2x < x - 7 - 2 Subtract 2 from each sides.
-2x < x - 9 By simplifying.
-2x - x < -9 Subtract x from each sides.
-3x < -9
Since we are dividing by negative 3. So, sign of inequality will get change.
So, x>3
Now the next inequality is,
−2x + 9 > 3(x + 8)
-2x + 9 > 3x + 24
-2x > 3x + 24 - 9
-2x > 3x + 15
-2x - 3x > 15
-5x >15
So, x <-3
Hence, the correct choice is x > 3 or x < −3.
Hi!
We know that there are three measures and each has a different amount of notes. To find the total we add them all up.
8+16+4=28.
There were 28 total notes played in the song.
I hope I helped you!
Have a wonderful day!

16.2 miles.
Since she paid a $5 tip, the cost for her fare was $23.50. Let x be the number of 0.2-mile increments in the trip:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25(x-1)
This equation comes from the 2.50 home pick-up fee; $1 for the first 0.2-mile increment; and 0.25 for each other 0.2-mile increment.
Using the distributive property, we have:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25*x - 0.25*1
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25x - 0.25
Combining like terms,
23.50 = 0.25x + 2.75
Subtracting 2.75 from both sides, we have:
23.50 - 2.75 = 0.25x + 2.75 - 2.75
20.25 = 0.25x
Dividing both sides by 0.25, we have:
20.25/0.25 = 0.25x/0.25
81 = x
This means there are 81 0.2-mile increments in her trip. 81(0.2) = 16.2 miles
The answer is 16. 1^2 is 1, 2^2 is 4, 3^2 is 9, and 4^2 would be 16.
