Answer:

-4 ≤ x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1: Split the inequality into two parts,

-12 ≤ 2x-4

and

2x -4 < 10

Solve.

-8 ≤ 2x

2x ≥ -8

x ≥ -4

and

2x < 14

x < 7

So, x is greater than (or equal to) -4, but less than 7.

-4 ≤ x < 7

Method 2:

-12 ≤ 2x - 4 < 10

Add 4 to both sides.

-8 ≤ 2x < 14

Divide both sides by 2.

-4 ≤ x < 7

Answer:

-4 ≤ x <7

x is greater than or equal to -4, and x is less than 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Take each side and solve

-12 ≤ 2x -4

subtract 4 on both sides

-8 ≤ 2x

divide by 2 on both sides

-4 ≤ x

2x -4 < 10

add 4 on both sides

2x < 14

divide by two on both sides

x < 7

Final answer:

-4 ≤ x <7

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 5.00 cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

• area of the rectangle = $x$ x $(x + 1)$

= $x^2 + x$

• area of the circle = π r²

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x $(x + 2)^2$

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x $(x^2 + 4x + 4)$

∴ $x^2 + x$ + $\frac{22}{7}$ x $(x^2 + 4x + 4) = 184$

⇒ $x^2 + x$ + $\frac{22}{7} x^2 \space\ + \space\ \frac{88}{7} x \space\ + \space\ \frac{88}{7} = 184$

⇒ $\frac{29}{7}x^2 \space\ + \space\ \frac{95}{7}x \space\ - \frac{1200}{7} = 0$

• Using quadratic formula, where

a = $\frac{29}{7}$

b = $\frac{95}{7}$

c = $\frac{-1200}{7}$ ,

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4c}}{2}$

$x = \frac{-\frac{95}{7}\pm \sqrt{(\frac{95}{7})^2 - 4(\frac{29}{7})(\frac{-1200}{7} ) } }{2(\frac{29}{7})}$

$x = 5.00 \space\ \space\ \space\ or \space\ \space\ \space\ x = -8.28$

As length (x) cannot be a negative number,

x = 5.00 cm
