Solve the inequality for x:
5x - 3 ≤ 7x +7
Subtract 7x from each side:
-2x -3 ≤ 7
Add 3 to each side:
-2x ≤ 10
Divide both sides by -2, also when dividing both sides of an inequality you flip the direction of the inequality sign:
x ≥ -5
The dot will be on -5, because the inequality includes equal to, the dot is solid and is greater than, the arrow will point to the right.
The correct answer is D.
Answer: 26
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we have 3 consecutive even numbers whose sum is 84 and it asks us to find the smallest number.
Consecutive even numbers can be represented as x, x + 2, and x + 4.
Since the sum of these is 84, our equation reads
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 84.
Simplifying on the left we get 3x + 6 = 84.
Subtract 6 from both sides and we have 3x = 78.
Divide both sides by 3 and x = 26.
So our smallest number is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Given</h3>
- a rectangle x units wide and y units high divided into unit squares
<h3>Find</h3>
- The total perimeter of the unit squares, counting each line segment once
<h3>Solution</h3>
For each of the y rows of squares, there are x segments at the top, plus another x segments at the bottom. The total number of horizontal segments is then
... horizontal segment count = (y +1)x
Likewise, for each of the x columns of squares, there are y segments to the left, plus another y segments to the right of the entire area. Then the total number of vertical segments is
... vertical segment count = (x+1)y
The total segment count is ...
... total segments = horizontal segments + vertical segments
.. = (y+1)x +(x+1)y
... total segments = 2xy +x +y
_____
<u>Check</u>
We know a square (1×1) has 4 segments surrounding it.
... count = 2·1·1 +1 +1 = 4 . . . . (correct)
We know the 3×3 window in the problem statement has 24 segments.
... count = 2·3·3 +3 +3 = 18 +3 + 3 = 24 . . . . (correct)
We know a 1×3 row of panes will have 10 frame elements.
... count = 2·1·3 +1 +3 = 6 +1 +3 = 10
It looks like our formula works well.
