Answer:
C. x > 3
Step-by-step explanation:
As long as you don't multiply or divide by any negative numbers*, <em>you can solve this the same way you would an equation</em>.
3x +2 > x +8
3x > x +6 . . . . . . subtract 2
2x > 6 . . . . . . . . subtract x
x > 3 . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2; matches choice C

* The complete rule is "as long as you don't use any order-changing operations, ...". There are some functions you can apply to both sides of the inequality that will change the ordering. Multiplication or division by a negative number is only one of many.
1 < 2
-1 > -2 . . . . . multiplication by -1 reverses the order
The answer the this is 0.23 pounds per container
A=bh/2, that is area is equal to half of the product of the base and height, so in this case:
A=(1/2)*10*24
Alright remember, if any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.
k+1=0
k-5=0
Set the first factor equal to 0 and solve
k=-1
Set the next factor equal to 0 and solve
k=5
The final solution is all the values that make (k+1)(k-5)=0 true.
k=-1, 5
Hope this helped you out :)
