Answer:
"number line with open circles on negative 9 and 5, shading going in the opposite directions."
Step-by-step explanation:
Your inequality doesn't include an equal sign so there will be no closed holes. It will only be open holes.
|u|>14 means that the number u has to be greater than 14 or less than -14. These numbers I describe just now all have a distance greater than 14 from 0.
So |u|>14 implies u>14 or u<-14.
But we are solving |2x+4|>14 so this implies we have 2x+4>14 or 2x+4<-14.
2x+4>14
Subtract 4 on both sides:
2x >10
Divide both sides by 2:
x >5
2x+4<-14
Subtract 4 on both sides:
2x <-18
Divide both sides by 2:
x <-9
So our solution is x>5 or x<-9.

-----------(-9)---------------------------------(5)---------------
So we shaded to the right of 5 because our inequality says x is bigger than 5.
We shaded to the left of -9 because our inequality says x is less than -9.
False, it's the other way around: you divide the numerator by the denominator.
For example, to evaluate 
you divide 8 by 15:
The answer to this question is b
1360/200
13.6/2
6.8
It is a finite decimal, but if you want repeating, there are zeroes that follow, like so:
6.8000000000000 . . . (and on to infinity)
Answer:
There were 16 birds at the shelter on Wednesday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of cats and birds on Wednesday = 34
let the number of birds on Wednesday = b
Then number of cats = (34 -b)
The rate of taking care of each bird in shelter = $3
The rate of taking care of each cat in shelter = $7
Total amount spent by shelter on Wednesday = $174
So, according to the question
b x ($3) + (34 -b) ($7) = $ 174
or, 3b + 238 - 7b = 174
or, 4b = 64
⇒ b = 64/4 = 16
Hence, the number of birds in shelter on Wednesday = b = 16
and Number of cats = 34 - 16 = 18
