In this question, you're solving the inequality for x.
Solve:
-1/3(6x - 15) + 6x > 8x - 11
Distribute the -1/3 to the variables in the parenthesis.
-2x + 5 + 6x > 8x - 11
Combine like terms
4x + 5 > 8x - 11
Subtract 8x from both sides
-4x + 5 > - 11
Subtract 5 from both sides
-4x > -16
Divide both sides by -4, while also flipping the inequality, since you're dividing by a negative.
x < 4
Answer:
x < 4
You'll have to multiply 0.7 by 120.
120*0.7 = n
n is the number that is 70% of 120
120 * 0.7 = 84
Hope this helps :)
Justify means plug answer in and verify
so distribute 8(3-7x)=24-56x
143=7+24-56x
143=31-56x
minus 31 both sides
112=-56x
divide both sides by -56
-2=x
justify
plug it back
143=7+8(3-7x)
143=7+8(3-7(-2))
143=7+8(3-(-14))
143=7+8(3+14)
143=7+8(17)
143=7+136
143=143
true
x=-2
