Solve for x: -6(x + 4) + 9 > -5(x + 6)

Mathematics

Answer:

x < 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first expand the parentheses on both sides. Remember that when expanding parentheses, the result will be the sum of the products of the "outside number" with each of the "inside number".

On the left, the parenthetical expression is: -6(x + 4). Here, the outside term is -6 and the inside terms are x and 4. So:

-6(x + 4) = -6 * x + (-6) * 4 = -6x - 24

On the right, the parenthetical expression is: -5(x + 6). Here, the outside term is -5 and the inside terms are x and 6. So:

-5(x + 6) = -5 * x + (-5) * 6 = -5x - 30

Now put these back in:

-6(x + 4) + 9 > -5(x + 6)

-6x - 24 + 9 > -5x - 30

-6x - 15 > -5x - 30

x < 15

Thus the answer is x < 15.

Hope this helps!

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot shows that there is a negative linear trend.  That as the distance to the coffee shop increases, whatever the y value represents goes down.

6 below and 6 above

(1,4)  (7,1)  Coordinates of the two points on the trend line

I can't see what the Y axis represents so can't really explain the prediction but as the distance to the coffee shop increases, whatever the Y axis represents will decrease.
