Treat this as if the inequality sign was the same thing as an equal sign. Most of the equality rules apply to inequalities (with a few exceptions)

Subtract both sides by 4


Multiply both sides by 2


We want the unknown variable on the left side (because it looks nicer)

1/10 of the thread is left because a connected to b is the thread and minus the 1/5 is 1/10 since 1/3 +total thread to begin wit.
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
(15×4+3)/4 ÷(4×1+3)/4= 63/4 ÷ 7/4= 9
Answer:
20 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts are symmetrically located around the x-coordinate of the vertex, so are at
1.5 ± 5/2 = {-1, 4}
Using one of these we can find the unknown parameter "a" in the parabola's equation (in vertex form) ...
0 = a(4 -1.5)² +12.5
0 = 6.25a +12.5 . . . . . simplify
0 = a +2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6.25
-2 = a
Then the standard-form equation of the parabola is ...
y = -2(x -1.5)² +12.5 = -2(x² -3x +2.25) +12.5
y = -2x² +6x +8
This tells us the y-intercept is 8. Then the relevant triangle has a base of 5 units and a height of 8. Its area is given by the formula ...
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(5)(8) = 20 . . . . units²
