Answer:
x is less than or equal to negative 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
so for now we should pretend that the greater than or equal to is an equal sign, and simplify the problem to get x alone on a side
remove 5 from each side
-x/3=1/3-5
-x/3=14/3
multiply both sides by 3
-x=14
x=-14
so we can now replace the equal sign with the equal or greater to, so x is less than or equal to -14
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 + 17x +10 =0
(3x+ ) ( x+ ) =0
We need to factor 10 = 2*5 or 1*10
They are positive since we have all positive terms
3*5 = 15+2 = 17
The 5 needs to multiply the 3 so it goes on the outside
(3x+ ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
That leaves the 2 on the inside
(3x+ 2 ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
Using the zero product property
3x+2 =0 x+5=0
3x = -2 x=-5
x = -2/3 x = -5
1/4 divided by 2 is the answer
