Answer:
Dividing mixed numbers is very similar to multiplying mixed numbers. You just add one step—after changing the divisor into an improper fraction, you then find its reciprocal and multiply. ... First step: Write the whole number and the mixed number as improper fractions.
Step-by-step explanation:
(6 + 5x)(7x + 3) = 42x + 18 + 35x^2 + 15x = 35x^2 + 57x + 18
2.40 before a 30% discount is 0.72
Error is between steps 4 and 5. It should say:
Step 4: -9x < 27
Now divide by -9
Step 5: x > -3
Note that the inequality changes direction.
When you mean multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality changes direction.
For example:
4 < 5
Multiply by -1:
-4 > -5
Another example:
-5 < 0
5 > 0
