Answer:
x>9
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + 15 < -21
Subtract 15 from each side
-4x + 15-15 < -21-15
-4x < -36
Divide each side by -4, remembering to flip the inequality
-4x/-4> -36/-4
x >9
Answer:
So length of top of table is 3x-7 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we are given that the top of the table has a width that is given by 2x inches.
The area of the top is given by:

Now the top of the table is of the shape of rectangle and area of rectangle is given by:

where l is length of the table and w is width of the table.
Plugging the values of A and w in the formula we have:

Dividing by 2x,
l=3x-7 inches
So length of top of table is 3x-7 inches.
Here you go!!! Hope this helps!!!
I am going to assume that x2 = x squared
So: X^2 + 3x -40
= (X+8)(X-5)=0
X+8 = 0
X= - 8
The other solution is X -5 = 0
X = 5
Therefore the solution set is {-8, 5}
