Answer:
{x | x < - 35 / 2}
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x / 7 > 10
Multiply both sides by 7
-4x /7 * 7 > 10 * 7
-4x > 70
Divide both sides by - 4
-4x / - 4 > 70 / - 4
x < - 35 / 2 (inequality sign changes)
Write two equations with the given information:
1) x = 2y ( x is twice the value of y)
2) x + y = 42
Replace x in the second equation with the value of x in the first equation:
2y + y = 42
Simplify:
3y = 42
Divide both sides by 3:
y = 42 / 3
y = 14
Now we have the value for Y, solve for x by replacing y with 14:
x = 2y
x = 2(14)
x = 28
X = 28 and y = 14
Answer:
The answer is, D. 20 inches
