Triangle ABC is a scalene triangle because all of it's sides are not equal.
If x = 1 , then the answer is no solution
X^2 + 2x < 8
x^2 + 2x - 8 < 0
(x + 4)(x - 2) < 0 ,,
{x + 4 < 0 and x - 2 > 0} or {x + 4 > 0 ,,and x - 2 < 0} ,,
{x < -4 and x > 2} or {x > -4 and x < 2},,
Discard x < -4 and x > 2 because it has no solutions, leaving just
x > -4 and x < 2 ,,
-4 < x < 2
$400 + (74.00 * 24) = $2,176.
The cash price is $191.00 less.
