Answer

-15x - 30 > -3x + 54

Explanation

Let's break this sentence down.

Thirty less than means [whatever goes before] minus 30.

Negative fifteen is -15.

Times a number means multiplying by a number. The number will be a variable. And in this case, the variable will be x.

Is greater than means more than.

Negative three is -3.

Times a number means multiplying by a number (in case you forgot or get confused, I wrote it again). That number will be a variable; x. This is the same number.

Now let's write down the equation.

Let's break both sides of the inequality, meaning the left side of 'greater than' and the right side.

The left side says this; "thirty less than negative fifteen times a number."

So let's write this.

So thirty less is minus 30. You are subtracting from "negative fifteen times a number."

Negative fifteen is -15... times a number is -15x.

So the left side of the inequality is -15x - 30.

The right side says this; "54 more than negative three times a number."

54 more than means adding 54 meaning + 54.

And you are adding 54 to "negative three times a number."

Negative three is -3, times a number is -3x.

So the right side of the inequality is -3x + 54.

So the full inequality is -15x - 30 > -3x + 54.

<u>Reduce:</u>

Here we gave to simplify the expressions:

9) $x^{2}+7x+\frac{12}{x^{2}}+11x+28$

Grouping similar terms:

$(x^{2}+\frac{12}{x^{2}})+(18x+28)$

Applying common factor $x^{2}$ in the first parenthesis and common factor $2$ in the second parenthesis:

$x^{2}(1+\frac{12}{x^{4}})+2(9x+14)$ This is the answer

11) $y^{3}+\frac{27}{y^{2}}+2y-3$

Rearranging the terms:

$(y^{3}+2y)+(\frac{27}{y^{2}}-3)$

Applying common factor $y$ in the first parenthesis and common factor $3$ in the second parenthesis:

$y(y^{2}+2)+3(\frac{9}{y^{2}}-1)$ This is the answer

<u>Multiply:</u>

19) $(\frac{12a^{9}u^{7}}{15 c})(\frac{3c^{4}}{21a^{13 u^{8}}})$

Multiplying both fractions:

$\frac{36 a^{9}u^{7}c^{4}}{315 c a^{13}u^{8}}$

Dividing numerator and denominator by 3 and simplifying:

$\frac{12 c^{3}}{105 c a^{4}u}$ This is the answer

21) $(x-\frac{3}{x}-7)(x^{2}-9x+\frac{35}{x^{2}}-18)$

$(\frac{x^{2}-3-7x}{x})(\frac{x^{4}-9x^{3}+35-18x^{2}}{x^{2}})$

Operating with cross product:

$x^{2} (x^{2}-3-7x) x(x^{4}-9x^{3}+35-18x^{2})$

$x^{9} -9x^{8} -18x^{7}+35x^{5}-7x^{8} +63x^{7}+126x^{6}-245x^{4}-3x^{7}+27x^{6}+54x^{5}-105x^{3}$

Grouping similar terms and factoring:

$x^{9}-2(8x^{8}+21x^{7} )+153x^{6}+89x^{5}-5(49x^{4}+21x^{3})$ This is the answer

<u>Divide:</u>

29) $\frac{\frac{k^{6}}{x^{2}}}{\frac{2k^{4}}{3x^{6}}}$

$\frac{3k^{6}x^{6}}{2x^{2}k^{4}}$

Simplifying:

$\frac{3}{2} k^{2}x^{4}$ This is the answer

33) $\frac{\frac{x+5}{x+1}}{\frac{x^{2}+11x+30}{x^{2}+3x+2}}$

$\frac{(x+5)(x^{2}+3x+2)}{(x+1)(x^{2}+11x+30)}$

Factoring numerator and denominator:

$\frac{(x+5)(x+2)(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+6)(x+5)}$

Simplifying:

$\frac{x+2}{x+6}$ This is the answer

37) $\frac{\frac{x-10}{x+13}}{\frac{x^{3}-1000}{x^{2}+15x+21}}$

$\frac{(x-10)(x^{2}+15x+21)}{(x+13)(x^{3}-1000)}$

Applying the distributive property in numerator and denominator:

$\frac{x^{3}+15x^{2}+21x-10x^{2}-150x-210}{(x+13)(x^{4}-1000x+13x^{3}-13000)}$

Grouping similar terms and factoring by common factor:

$-\frac{5x(x^{2}-129)(x^{2}-42)}{1000x^{3} (x+13)(x-13)}$

Dividing by $5$ in numerator and denominator and simplifying:

$-\frac{(x^{2}-129)(x^{2}-42)}{200x^{2}(x+13)(x-13)}$ This is the answer
