1) Transform the inequality into equation by replacing "<" or ">" with "=":
-2x - 4 > 8
-2x - 4 = 8
2) Simply solve for x:
-2x - 4 = 8
-2x = 8 + 4
-2x = 12
x = -6
3) Now do the following exactly the same: first, look into the symbol that you have replaced (">" or "<"). Put the same symbol into your answer "x = -6":
x > -6
4) Now, look which symbol was in front of "x" in the original inequality (-2x - 4 = 8). If it is "+" (for example, 4x, 0.01x) leave "x > -6". If it is "-" (for example, -3x, -0.04x) change ">" into "<" or change "<" into ">" (put the opposite symbol).
5) You have -2x in the original inequality - then, in "x > -6" change the symbol into "<". So, your answer will be
x < -6 or the option 1.
Hope this helps!

levacccp [35]

Answer:

The graph of the equation is shown in the picture attached below.

We can see w = 12 corresponds to the global maximum of the function, and for any w greater than 12 the value of A(w) decreases.

This means that for any value of the width greater than 12, the function cannot model the situation.

Making the equation only valid for

w ∈ [0,12]
