X-y is positive when y is further away from 0, compared to x. In other words, when y is a larger negative
For example
x = -2
y = -5
x-y = -2-(-5) = -2+5 = 3

Answer: Choice C</h3>
{x | x < -12 or x > -6}
=========================================================
Explanation:
Let's solve the first inequality for x.
(-2/3)x > 8
-2x > 8*3
-2x > 24
x < 24/(-2)
x < -12
The inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative value.
Let's do the same for the second inequality.
(-2/3)x < 4
-2x < 4*3
-2x < 12
x > 12/(-2)
x > -6
The conclusion of each section is that x < -12 or x > -6 which points us to <u>choice C</u> as the final answer.
Side note: The intervals x < -12 and x > -6 do not overlap in any way. There's a gap between the two pieces. We consider these intervals to be disjoint. The number line graph is below.
Answer:
k= -13
Step-by-step explanation:
-6k = -10 + 88
-6k = 78
k = -13
Answer:
9.4 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
If 7.3 yards of fabric are remaining, then Jennifer uses 82.5-7.3=75.2 yards of fabric.
Jennifer uses 75.2 yards of fabric to make 8 identical curtains, then
yards of fabric Jennifer uses per curtain.
