Answer:

Value of x is greater than -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

5 - ( x + 5 ) > -2( x + 4 )

We need to find value of x.

Consider,

5 - ( x + 5 ) > -2( x + 4 )

using distributive property, we get

5 - x - 5 > -2x - 2× 4

5 - x - 5 > -2x - 8

Now simplify both side.

-x > -2x - 8

transfer -2x from RHS to LHS

-x + 2x > -8

x > -8

Therefor, Value of x is greater than -8.

5 - (x+5) \ \textgreater \  -2(x+4)
First we work out the brackets

5- x -5 \ \textgreater \  -2x - 8

-x \ \textgreater \  -2x - 8
Now we add -2x to both sides of the equation

x \ \textgreater \  -8
Hence, the anser is x > -8

Maurinko [17]

Let

x-----> the purchase price of the house

we know that

1) Marika paid 80\% of the purchase price of the house with a loan

2) Marika paid the remaining \$49,400 of the purchase price with her savings

3) \$49,400 represent the 20\% of the purchase price

so

0.20x=49,400

Solve for x

Divide by 0.20 both sides

0.20x/0.20=49,400/0.20

x=247,000

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the purchase price of the house is \$247,000
