Find the value of x.
SUM OF ANGLES ON STRAIGHT LINE = 180°



because in each case, the selected column composes one<span>-tenth of the grid in total. The number of blocks is different, but the proportion of space filled is the same.</span>
The best way to approach this problem is to look at the graph of the given function. Replace values of x from 1 to 24 to indicate the numbers of hours in a day. As seen on the graph, there is only one point where the port is at high tide. That would be at 1:00 am.
Looking at the graph, it would be safe for the boats to be in the port when the graph levels off at around 10 to 24. That's from 10 am to before 12 midnight. Then, they would have to stay away between 12 midnight to before 10 am.
An inequality is also an algebraic equation. However, instead of '=' sign, it uses either of these: <, >, ≤, ≥. To translate: <span>X differs from 2 by more than 3, that would be:
2 - x > 3
We use the '>' equation because the open area should face the larger value. Solving the equation:
-x > 3 - 2
-x > 1
x > -1</span>
If they all lined up and held hands, the line will be 6 billion meter apart.
