<span>Lets make it clear: You would have a positive answer when the value you are looking for has to be a positive number. On the other hand you would have a positive and a negative answer when you take the square root of something that doesn't have to be positive. it could be either because when a negative number is squared it becomes positive and when a positive number is squared it stays positive as well.</span>
Answer:x>3 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
5/12-(x-3)/6 <(x-2)/3
5/12 *12-(x-3)/6*12<(x-2)/6*12
5-2(x-3)<4(x-2)
5-2x+6<4x-8
-2x+11<4x-8
-2x<4x-19
-6x<-19
-6x(-1)<-19(-1)
6x>19
x>19/6
x>3 1/6
just change all the inequality signs to a x is greater or equal to 3 1/6 and on the rest change to and < and equal sign only put > or equal sign on the last three lines
The total loss of the two months would be $72.
