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

So if Isabella has 33 dollars that means they did 11x3=33 so to find Shanes you would do 3x3=9 then add the two together which is $42 hope this helps

What are the zeros of f(x) = x(x − 9)?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

x = 0 , x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

x(x - 9) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

Helen ate 1/10 of a cake. She divided The remainder into 3 equal portions. What fraction of the cake was in each portion
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

As she ate 1/10 of cake, we need to know how many cake remains after it, so we can substract:

1 - 1/10 = 10/10 - 1/10 = 9/10

Then, we need to divide the 9/10 into 3 portions:

(9/10) / 3 = 9/30 = 3/10

So we know the fractions would be 3/10 each on this situation..
