Given:

To find:
The steps to solving the given inequality.
Solution:
We have,

Subtract 8 from both sides.


Divide both sides by 3.


Two steps are:
1. Subtract 8 from both sides of the inequality.
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 3.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:
<span>f(x) = –(x + 8)^2 – 1
Find the first derivative: f '(x) = -2(x+8)(1)
Set this = to 0: -2(x+8) = 0
solve for x: x = -8
Divide the number line into subintervals based upon x=-8:
(-inf, -8) and (-8, inf)
Choose a test value for x from each interval, e. g., -10 from the first interval and 20 from the second.
Subst. this test value into the derivative, shown above.
If the result is + the function is incr on that interval; if - the fn. is decr.

To answer the question above, we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.
