width = x
length = x+5

2x + 2(x+5) = 46
2x + 2x + 10 = 46
4x = 46 - 10
4x = 36
x = 36/4 
x = 9 in ← width

length = x+5 = 9 + 5 = 14 in

Area = 9 * 14 = 126 in²

For which of the following inequalities is x≥4 a solution. x+3≥1 3x≥1 x-3≥1

pychu [463]

Answer:

x - 3 ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving each of the inequalities

x + 3 ≥ 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x ≥ - 2

3x ≥ 1 ( divide each inequality by 3 )

x ≥ $\frac{1}{3}$

x - 3 ≥ 1 ( add 3 to both sides )

x ≥ 4 ← required solution
