Hello,
 the first step should be to distribue:
-4(3-5x)= -12+20x

Teh resolution may be:

-4(3-5x)>=-6x+9
==>-12+20x>=-6x+9
==>20x+6x>=9+12
==>26x>21
==>x>=21/26

But an other way may be used:

-4(3-5x)>=-6x+9
==>3-5x<= -6x/(-4)+9/(-4)
==>-5x-3/2 x<=-9/4 -3

==>-13/2 x <=-21/4

==>x>= -21/4 *(-2/13)
==>x>=21/(2*13)
==>x>=21/26

For this case we have the following inequality:

-4 (3 - 5x) \geq-6x + 9

To solve the inequality, we have as a first step to apply the distributive property on the left side of the inequality.

We have then:

(-4) * (3) + (-4) * (- 5x) \geq-6x + 9

Rewriting we have:

-12+ 20x \geq -6x + 9

Then, the following steps will only be mentioned:


1) Group variable terms on the left side of the inequality


2) Group constant terms on the right side of the inequality


3) Add the variable terms


4) Add the constant terms


5) Clear the value of x.


Answer:

a correct first step in solving the inequality is:

Distributive property:

-12+ 20x \geq -6x + 9

Jane spent 3 hours exploring a mountain with a dirt bike. First, she rode 55 miles uphill. After she reached the peak she rode f
Neko [114]

Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x²  - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.
