<span>Using the information we have
3x+4=40
Do the same to each side of the equation to eliminate for x.
3x+4=40 Minus 4 from each side
3x=40-4
3x=36
Divide 3 from each side
x=36/3
x=12
AC=3x+4
insert the value of x
3(12)+4=40
AC=40
AD=20</span>
13x + 7x - 4x = -40
combine like terms o0n the left
16x = -40
divide both sides by 16
x = -5/2 or -2.5
1.5y < -6.75
First, divide both sides by '1.5'.
Second, since 4.5 × 1.5 = 6.5, simplify the fraction to '-4.5'

Answer:
y < -4.5
0.674-32 is equal to -31.326
