The answer is 22.666666667
can be factored into 
. To double-check, you can multiply the terms together again using FOIL: first, outside, inside, last.
(3x)(x) + (3x)(8) + (-1)(x) + (-1)(8)
3x² + 24x - x - 8
3x² + 23x - 8
Check.
Answer:
3 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add $3.25 three times, you get $9.75.
(a) 8(4x+3) > -1 + 7x
32x + 24 > -1 + 7x
32x - 7x > -1 -25
25x >-26
x > -26/25
(b) 167 < 6 + 7(2 - 7r)
167 < 6 + 14 - 49r
49r < 6 + 14 - 167
49r < - 147
r < - 3
(c) 8x + 40 > -8 ( 1 - 7x)
8x + 40 > -8 + 56x
56x - 8x < 48
48x < 48
x < 1
(d)5( 6 + 3r) + 7 > 127
30 + 15r + 7 > 127
15r > 127 - 37
15r > 90
r > 6
1/5 < 3/4 < 7/8 this is the answer from least to greatest
