A
6x-14+18=10
6x+4=10
6x=6
X=1
-2x - 6 < = 1
-2x < = 1 + 6
-2x < = 7...change the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number
x > = -7/2
x > = - 3.5
the one that does not satisfy the inequality is : -4...because it is less then -3.5
Answer: plants are same height in 30 days; Plant A is tallest in 6 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of days
4 + (2/3)x = 9 + (1/2)x
(2/3)x - (1/2)x = 9 - 4
(1/6)x = 5
x = 30, number of days for Plant A and Plant B to be same height.
6 wks = 42 days
Plant A in 42 days: 4 + (2/3)(42) = 32 inches
Plant B in 42 days: 9 + (1/2)(42) = 30 inches
