Answer:

10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

180 - 8x = 160 - 6x

subtract 160 from both sides and add 8x to both sides

20 = 2x

divide both sides by 2

x = 10

The table shows the steps for solving the given inequality for x.
slavikrds [6]

Given inequality -3(4-6x) < x+5.

We have -3 in front of Parenthesis.

That represents multiplication of -3 and Parenthesis.

The multiplication of Parenthesis could be done by applying distributive property.

On distributing, we get

-12+18x < x+5

x is added on right side of the inequality. The reverse operation of addition is subtraction. So we need to subtract x from both sides, we get

-12+18x-x < x-x+5

-12+17x < 5

Now, we need to get rid -12 from left side.

So, we need to apply addition property of equality, we need to add 12 on both sides, we get

-12+12+18x < x+5+12

17x < 17

We need to get rid 17 from left side. So we need to apply division property of equality.

On dividing both sides by 17, we get

17x/17 < 17/17

x<1.
