Let us rewrite this equation as:
<em>160/x = some number + 4/x
</em>we can assume that some number of x's can fit into 160, but x is greater than 4 so we have a remainder.
We can figure out by using the remainder that x is completely divisible into (160-4) or 156. Knowing this we can assume that x is some factor of 156 that is greater than 4.
Let us list the factors of 156
1,2,3,4,6,12,13,26,39,52,78,156
Now let us refer back to the restrictions we put on x.
<em>x must be > 4 as anything less than 4 would divide at least 1 more time into it. So now we are left with a bunch of other factors. And the cool thing is that all of the factors excluding anything that is = or < 4 all work for getting a remainder of 4. Thus we can use the largest factor and set it equal to x.
</em>So x = 156
then if we divide 315 by x or <em>315/x = 315/156 = 2 and a remainder of 3
so the answer would be 3.</em>
it should be (in order from top to bottom)

Answer:
You selected the correct answer: {x | x <<em> </em>-4 or x > 2}
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x - 2)(x + 4) > 0
Use FOIL method to expand (x - 2)(x + 4):
> 0
Distribute 5 into 
> 0
Divide all terms by 5 from both sides of the inequality:
Factor the trinomial:
(x + 4) ( x - 2) > 0
x < -4 or x > -2
Therefore, the solution set to the inequality is {x | x < -4 or x > 2}
<em>Interval notation: </em>(-∞, -4) ∪ (2, ∞)
(f.g)(x) = f (g(x))= f ( x^4+3)
= (x^4+3)^2 + 2 ( x^4+3) - 6
= x^8 + 9 + 6x^4 + 2x^4 + 6-6
= x^8 + 8x^4+9
5 1/2 pages in 12 minutes.
11/2 pages in 12 minutes
How many pages in an hour?
well, an hour has 60 minutes
Let's write a proportion
11/2 / 12 = x/60
cross multiply
(11/2 * 60) = 12x
330 = 12x
divide both sides by 12
27.5 or 27 1/2 = x
27.5 pages per hour.
