Solve for x.

Begin by subtracting 2b from both sides. This will give us

-ax > -2b +8

Then we will divide by -a. This division by a negative number changes the direction of the inequality sign. When we divide by -a:

x

Remark

Why don't we just solve the expression, and then see which one of the answers fit. 

Step One.

You are eventually going to divide by - a. On of the most confusing problems with inequality equations is what to do about a - division. The answer is (in this case) to add ax to both sides of the equation.

-ax + ax + 2b > 8 + ax

2b > 8 + ax 

Step two

Solve for x. Subtract 8 from both sides.

2b - 8 > 8 - 8 + ax

2b - 8 > ax   

Step 3

Divide by a

(2b - 8)/a > x

Step Four

Find the answer.

I'm getting none of the answers above. 

==============

My answer is actually correct. The question now goes through the convoluted process of multiplying top and bottom of the answer by -1. Why I don't know. I suppose just so you can get an answer that is given.

If you do that, you get

(8 - 2b)/-a > x which is the first answer, I think.

Heeeeelp Find the distance of AB if A (2, 6) and B (-5, 2).
evablogger [386]

Answer:

let A (2, 6) be (x1, y1)

B (-5, 2)  be (x2, y2)

distance AB =√[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

                    √[(-7)²+ (-4)²]

                   √65

A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side and the third side is 18 feet mor
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

42 ft, 60 ft, 84 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the shortest side , then the other 2 sides are 2x and x + 18, so

x + 2x + x + 18 = 186 , that is

4x + 18 = 186 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

4x = 168 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 42

Then lengths of sides are

x = 42 ft

2x = 2 × 42 = 84 ft

x + 18 = 42 + 18 = 60 ft
