Step-by-step explanation:

-46 - 8x > 22: Original problem

-46 - 8x + 46 > 22 + 46: Bringing all the constants to one side of the inequality

-8x > 68: Simplification

x < 68/-8 : You have to flip the inequality symbol because you are dividing by

a negative number..

x< -8.5 : The answer!!!!!

Checking your answer....

-46 - 8x > 22 : Original problem

-46 - 8(-8.5) > 22 : Substitution

-46 + 68 > 22 : Simplification

22 > 22 : Answer check successful!!!

(22 is not greater than 22 but we know that the answer cannot be -8.5 because the inequality states that x is less -8.5. This process was only for the purpose of checking not for the purpose of proving)

Hope this helps!!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this is to know that the only time you'll change the direction of the sign is when you multiply or divide by a negative number.

-46 - 8x > 22

-8x > 22 + 46

-8x > 68

x < 68/-8 (we divided by -8 so the inequality changed direction)

x < -17/2

An orchard has 651 orange trees. The number of rows exceeds the number of trees per row by 10. How many trees are there in a row

natima [27]

Answer:

The number of trees in each row is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number of trees in each row = m

So, the number of rows in the orchard = Number of trees in each row + 10

or, total number of trees in each row = (10 +m)

Now, Total number of Trees = Number of Rows x Number of trees in 1 row

⇒ 651 = m (m + 10)

$651 = m^2 + 10m\\\implies m^2 + 10m - 651 =0\\or, m^2 + 31m 21m - 651 =0\\or, m(m +31) -21(m+31) =0\\\implies (m +31) (m-21) = 0$

⇒ (m +31) = 0, or (m-21) = 0

⇒ m= -31, or m = 21

Now, as m = The number of trees in each row, so m ≠ -31

So, m = 21

Hence, the number of trees in each row is m = 21.
