To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:
2(1 - x) > 2x Divide 2 on both sides

1 - x > x Add x on both sides to get "x" on one side of the inequality
1 - x + x > x + x
1 > 2x Divide 2 on both sides to get "x" by itself
or
(x is any number less than 1/2)
[Another way you could've solved it]
2(1 - x) > 2x Distribute 2 into (1 - x)
(2)1 + (2)(-x) > 2x
2 - 2x > 2x Add 2x on both sides
2 - 2x + 2x > 2x + 2x
2 > 4x Divide 4 on both sides to get "x" by itself

Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The correct option is:
D. 40 feet.
<h2>
Why?</h2>
To solve the problem and calculate the width of the river, we need to assume that the distance from A to B and the angle formed between that distance and the distance from A to the other point (C) is equal to 90°, meaning that we are working with a right triangle, also, we need to use the given angle which is equal to 34°. So, to solve the problem we can use the following trigonometric relation:

Where,
alpha is the given angle, 34°
Adjacent is the distance from A to B, which is equal to 60 feet.
Opposite is the distance from A to C which is also equal to the width of the river.
So, substituting and calculating we have:


Hence, we have that the correct option is:
D. 40 feet.
Have a nice day!
Im guessing he answered 30 correct, let me know if im correct
