Answer:
x < -12
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/2x > 6
Multiply by -2 to isolate x
Remember that when multiplying by a negative, we flip the inequality
-2 * -1/2x < 6*-2
x < -12
The doctor has to pay 9127.5 in income taxes
Answer:
9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
As 9 and 3/5s, the 9 is whole so you do not change it. To make 3/5th into a decimal you increase the denominator into x/10. To make 5 into 10 you multiply 5x2=10. And since you changed the bottom you have to change the top and multiply it by 2. 3x2=6. So the 9 stays the same and since the first place beind the decimal is tenths, and youre fraction is now 6/10 you put it as 9.6.

You have the right idea and you are close to the correct answer. However that's not what your teacher is looking for in terms of steps.
The starting inequality is

She starts off selling 8 buckets. Then she sells b more to get a total of b+8
This total must be 20 or larger which is why I set b+8 greater than or equal to 20
Solve for b by subtracting 8 from both sides



So she needs to sell at least 12 more buckets to reach her goal
If you graphed this on a number line, then you would draw a closed circle at 12. Then shade to the right of the close circle.
