Hello!

You can solve this algebraically

4(x - 3) + 4 < 10 + 6x

Distribute the 4

4x - 12 + 4 < 10 + 6x

Combine like terms

4x - 8 < 10 + 6x

Subtract 4x from both sides

-8 < 10 + 2x

Subtract 10 from both sides

-18 < 2x

Divide both sides by 2

-9 < x

The answer is x > -9

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Perimeter of ABC = AB + BC+AC. Replace letters with equations.

3x^2-7x+2 = 2x^2-10x+6 + x^2-x-4 + AC = 3x^2-11x+2 + AC.

AC = 4x;
