-6(x + 8) > - 36
-6x - 48 > -36
-6x > -36 + 48

x < -12/6
x < -2 <=== possible solutions are anything less then - 2......like -3,-4,-5 etc

Which equation represents a line that passes through (–9, –3) and has a slope of –6?

brilliants [131]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({{ -9}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies -6
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-(-3)=-6[x-(-9)]
\\\\\\
y+3=-6(x+9)\implies y+3=-6x-54\implies y=-6x-57$

Check the picture below.

so notice, their perimeter is the same, because the perimeter is just one rod anyway, and all rods are the same length, thus

$\bf P_s=P_t\implies 4s=3(s+2)\implies 4s=3s+6\implies s=6$
