Answer:
x > -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Inequalities like these are solved the same way equations are solved, except when multiplying both sides you flip the less than/greater than sign:
3x + 7 > -x -9
3x + 7 - 7 > -x -9 -7 Subtract 7 from both sides
3x > -x -16
3x + x > -x -16 + x add x to both sides
4x > -16
>
divide both sides by 4
x > -4
In this case the inequality sign did not have to be flipped since we never multiply both sides by a negative number.
Answer:
1) Yes
2) No
3) Yes
4) Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the rule: the sum of the two shortest sides must be bigger than the longest side. From there, the answers should be obvious. Just add up the smallest sides for each triplet of lengths and see if that is bigger than the largest side.
7 + 14 > 18, therefore this can be a triangle
3 + 8 < 17, therefore this can't be a triangle
3.2 + 9.0 > 11.5, therefore this can be a triangle
6 + 7 > 8, therefore this can be a triangle
