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

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!

Mya wants to create a rectangular garden that will be 25 feet wide. She has 110 feet of
jok3333 [9.3K]

750 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

since the fencing is going around the perimeter, you have to have two sides with the width of 25 feet, you would use 50 feet of fencing for 2 of the sides. You will have 60 feet of fencing left, divided by 2 (length of the garden) = 30 feet long.

The area (length x width) or (25 x 30) = 750 sq ft of garden space. Draw a rectangle with 25 ft on two parallel sides and 30 ft on the other two sides and show these equation= 25 x 2= 50, 110 - 50 = 60

60 ÷ 2 = 30, 30 x 25 = 750
