-4(x-6) ≤ - 2x+6
-4x-24≤ -2x+6
+2x +2x
-2x-24≤+6
+24 +24
-2x ≤ 30
Divide both sides by -2
and you get....
x ≥ -15
You switch the inequality sign because you're dividing by a negative.
I hope all is well, and you pass! Good luck, rockstar! (:
The explanation is in a file the other Pearson put
The wood is 10 inches and you're cutting it into 1/2 pieces, so divide 10 by 1/2, which is 20, The carpenter can cut 20 dowels.
Set up the following equations:


110 represents the lengths of the length and width of the triangle, as you'll divide total perimeter of the rectangle, 220, by 2 to find the individual lengths. 20 is the difference between the length and width.
We'll use elimination for this system of equations, as there are opposite coefficients for W in both equations. Combine the two equations:

Divide both sides by 2 to get L by itself:
The length of the rectangle is 65 feet.Plug this value into the second equation:

Add W to both sides:

Subtract 20 from both sides:
The width of the rectangle is 45 feet.
Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is

Using distributive property, we get



Isolate variable terms.


Divide both sides by -0.35.



Therefore,
.
