<h3>
Answer: a < 14 (Choice B)</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
Add 4 to both sides
a-4 < 10
a-4+4 < 10+4
a < 14
The reason why we add 4 to both sides is to undo the "minus 4" that's happening to the variable.
Answer:
6y + 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x < 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x +8 < 18
Subtract 8 from each side
2x+8-8 < 18 -8
2x< 10
Divide by 2
2x/2 < 10/2
x < 5
Check the picture below.

so the object hits the ground when h(x) = 0, hmmm how long did it take to hit the ground the first time anyway?

now, we know the 2nd time around it hit the ground, h(x) = 0, but it took less time, it took 0.5 or 1/2 second less, well, the first time it took 3/2, if we subtract 1/2 from it, we get 3/2 - 1/2 = 2/2 = 1, so it took only 1 second this time then, meaning x = 1.

quick info:
in case you're wondering what's that pesky -16x² doing there, is gravity's pull in ft/s².
You have: y=0.73x+1. Compare this to the equation of a straight line (in slope-intercept form). The slope, m, is 0.73. The y-intercept, b, is 1.
