Answer:

2.1375 bottles of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

cardboard length = 14 1/4 ft, which is equivalent to (4*14 + 1)/4 = 57/4 ft

cardboard width = 6 ft

Rectangular cardboard area = length * width = 57/4 * 6 = (57*6)/4 = 342/4 ft²,  which can be simplified dividing numerator and denominator by 2: 171/2 ft²

If 1 bottle of paint covers an area of 40 square feet, then to paint 171/2 square feet the following proportion must be satisfied:

1  bottle of paint / 40 square feet = x bottles of paint / (171/2) square feet

x = (1/40) * (171/2) = (1*171)/(40*2) = 171/80 or (160 + 11)/80 = 160/80 + 11/80 = 2 11/80 or 2.1375 bottles of paint

Solve the inequality. |2x + 10| > 26
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

x > 8

x < -16

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 10 > 26

2x + 10 - 10 > 26 - 10

2x > 16

2x/2 > 16/2

x > 8

2x + 10 < -26

2x + 10 - 10 < - 26 - 10

2x < -36

2x/2 < -36/2

x < -16
