Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
16 < -2(x + 4)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute -2: 16 < -2x - 8
- Add 8 to both sides: 24 < -2x
- Divide -2 on both sides: -12 > x
- Rewrite: x < -12
Here we see that any number <em>x</em> smaller than -12 would work as a solution to the inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$121
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable calculator or spreadsheet can tell you the payment amount for the given loan values. The annual interest rate will be 12 times the monthly, rate, or 2.4%. The number of monthly payments in 12 years is 12×12 = 144.
__
A calculator shows the monthly payment will be about $121.
__
If you want to figure this "by hand," the amortization formula is used.
A = Pr/(1 -(1+r)^-t)
where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate, and t is the number of months.
A = 15100(0.002)/(1 -(1.002^-144)) ≈ 120.789 ≈ 121
The monthly payment would be $121.
