#16: Let's clear the fraction on the way to solving this inequality for x. By mult. the given inequality by 2, we'll get -2 (is greater than) x+4. We want x to be positive. So, leave it where it is. Subtract 4 from both sides of this inequality. We end up with -6 (is greater than) x, which is the same thing as x (is less than) -6. What would the graph of that simple inequality look like?
Graph it. (Hint: The graph is a straight dashed line, and you must shade one side of it, but not the other side.
First the original price is reduced by 15%
assume the original price is x
100%-15%=85%..u r left with 85% of the price
thus,85/100 multiply x
the reduced price is reduced again by 5%
so,95/100 ×(85/100 x)=$315.32
find x
323/400 x =$315.32
×=$390.49
The answer is -2.
im sorry if the work is messy.
