Solve for x: 2x - 2 > 4x + 6

Mathematics
1 answer:
laiz [17]4 years ago
7 0

Isolate the x. Subtract 4x from both sides, and add 2 to both sides

2x (-4x) - 2 (+2) > 4x (-4x) + 6 (+2)

2x - 4x > 6 + 2

Simplify. Combine like terms

-2x > 8

Isolate the x. Divide -2 from both sides. Note that you are <em>dividing a negative number</em>. When doing so, flip the sign.

-2x/-2 > 8/-2

x > 8/-2

x < -4

x < -4, or (1) is your answer

hope this helps

What value of n makes the equation 4(0.5n − 3) = n − 0.25(12 − 8n) true?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

n = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

4(0.5n − 3) = n − <u>0.25(12 − 8n)</u>

2n - 12 = n - <u>3 + 2n</u>

2n - 12 = 3n - 3

2n - 3n =  - 3 +12

-1n  = 9

n = -9

The perimeter of a rectangular playground is 86 feet, the width of the playground is 15 feet, what is the length
Gennadij [26K]
The length is 28ft. W=15 so you’d subtract 30 from 86 and get 56. Then divide 56 by 2 and get 28 which is the length. You can check this by adding 15+15+28+27 together and see if it equals 86 which it does.

Sav [38]

Answer:

Correct Answer:

<em>To maximize their profit, Esibu must build 6 (2 grandmother clock and 4 wall clock) while Dela must build 8 (6 grandmother clock and 2 wall clock).</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they don't want to work for more than 20 hrs in a week

In-order to maximize the profit,

For Esibu,

2 grandmother clock = 4 hours ×2 = 8 hours

4 wall clock = 3 hours × 4 = 12 hours

Total hours = 20 hours.

For Dela,

6 grandmother clock = 2 hours × 6 = 12 hours

2 wall clock = 4 hours × 2 = 8 hours

Total hours = 20 hours.
