5x + 7 ≤ −8 or 3x + 7 > 19
5x ≤ - 15 or 3x > 12
x ≤ - 3 or x > 4
Answer
x ≤ - 3 or x > 4
Let us assume last year the price of the item = $x.
After increase in price by 15% the new price = x + 15% of x = x+ 0.15x = 1.15x.
There is a 25% discount for employee.
25% of 1.15x = 0.25 × 1.15x = 0.2875 x.
Price after discount = 1.15x - 0.2875 x = 0.8625x.
The employee pays $172.50.
Therefore,
0.8625x = 172.50.
Dividing both sides by 0.08625.

<h3>x=200.</h3><h3>Therefore, last year the price was $200.</h3>
Put one dot on (0,-2) , (4,0), (-4,-4) connect the dots that is your graph line.
Slope is 1/2 and you is -4
If it is less then 5 you do the next hundred down 5 and above the next one up
Step-by-step explanation:
there is the answer. good luck
