Answer:

Distribute –4 to get –8x + 4 > 5 – 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do when solving an inequality (or an equality) is get rid of the parenthesis.

In this case, we could divide on both sides by -4 but that way we would get another parenthesis on the right side of the inequality and we have to start again.

The easiest way is to distribute the -4 in the parenthesis and get

-4(2x-1) = -4*2x -4*(-1) = -8x + 4

Therefore, the correct answer is the first one.

Andre has 45 sheets of paper and needs to buy more. A store has 5 reams of paper, and each

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The practical domain of the function is the set of all integers from 1 to 5, inclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given the initial number of sheets of paper is 45.

A store has 5 reams of paper, and each ream contains 500 sheets of paper.

Let f(x) represent the number of sheets after purchasing x reams.

$f(x)=500x+45$

Domain is the set of input. In other words domain is the set of x-values.

Since number of reams can not be a negative or fraction value, therefore, the domain of the function is {1,2,3,4,5}.

Andre needs to buy more sheets, so number of reams of paper can not be 0.

Thus, the practical domain of the function is the set of all integers from 1 to 5, inclusive.
