For number 1. it is wrong. It is fresh water. Ocean water is salt water. I don't know the rest, sorry. I will come back if I find out though! :D
X/(-9) = 16
x/(-9) x (-9) = 16(-9)
x = 16(-9)
x = - 144
hope this helps
Answer:
x<-8 or x>1/5
Step-by-step explanation:

First we replace > symbol by = sign

To solve for x we multiply 5x-1 on both sides
x+8 =0
x=-8
5x-1=0 solve for x
x= 1/5
WE got two values x=-8 and x= 1/5
Now we make a number line and check with each interval
x<-8, -8<x<1/5, x>1/5
Pick x= -9 and check with the given inequality

1/46 >0 is true, so x<-8 satisfies our inequality
Pick x= 0 and check with the given inequality

-8 >0 is false , -8<x<1/5 does not satifies our inequality
Pick x= 2 and check with the given inequality

10/9>0 is true , x>1/5 satisfies our inequality
|12x + 1| = 10
Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:
12x +1 = 10
12x +1 = -10
Now solve for both x values:
12x +1 = 10
Subtract 1 from both sides:
12x = 9
Divide both sides by 12:
x = 9/12
12x +1 = -10
Subtract 1 from both sides:
12x = -11
Divide both sides by 12:
x = -11/12
The answer would be (-11/12, 912)
