<span>2.5 – 1.2x < 6.5 – 3.2x
-1.2x + 3.2x < 6.5 - 2.5
3.2x - 1.2x < 4
2x < 4
x < 4/2
x < 2</span>
14+2(14)=42. this is the answer
The best step to do next is to add 80 to both sides of equation:
5 ( x² + 8 x ) + 80 = 14 + 80
and since 80 = 5 · 16
5 ( x² + 8 x + 16 ) = 94 Answer : B )
After that we will continue like this:
5 ( x + 4 )² = 94
( x + 4 )² = 18.8 ... etc
