Answer: x > 2</h3>
Work Shown:
5x - 14x < - 18
-9x < - 18
x > -18/(-9)
x > 2
The inequality sign flips when dividing both sides by a negative number.
Here's another approach you could take.
5x - 14x < - 18
-9x < -18
0 < -18+9x
18 < 9x
9x > 18
x > 18/9
x > 2
It's a slightly longer pathway, but it avoids a sign flip when you divide both sides by the positive number 9.
The sign flip happens two steps earlier when going from 18 < 9x to 9x > 18. In other words, A < B is the same as B > A.

6(1/2)= 3; 6(2/3)= 4; 3+4=7
Answer:
(c) is closest to the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The question answers itself: "Mr. Jones's prescription calls for 1.04 tablets PER DAY, thus the amount of tablets Mr. Jones should talk daily are 1.04. Since none of the answers in the answer set have '1.04' in them, we have to use some basic logic:
The list of answers are, a) 1.25. We can rule that one out as it is not 1.04. We can also rule out b) and d) using the same logic. Thus, by process of elimination, we are left with c) 1 O. Not only is 1.0 (or just 1) the closest number to the actual amount (1.04) but it also makes the most sense, as one cannot take .04 (or 4/100ths) of a pill.
We know the workers can unpack 48 books in 2 minutes, so how many minutes for 200?
16 and 1/5 is equal to 16.2
So 19.8 subtract 16.2 is equal to 3.6
Savannah is 3.6 or 3 and 3/5 seconds faster than Paloma.
