Answer:
x < ( 8 - 2b ) / -a
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we simply will solve the inequality for x.
-ax + 2b > 8
-ax > 8 - 2b
x < ( 8 - 2b ) / -a
Note, the comparison is flipped since a negative multiplicand was used to isolate x.
Cheers.
Yes the distributive property is used to expand expressions, but it is also used to make it simpler.
For an example
3(x+4) + 3(y-8)
This is the same thing as
3x + 12 + 3y -8
Kyle, d = rt, right? This means that t = d/r. If we call the rate of the current c, then her rate upstream is hindered by the current and is 3 - c. Downstream is 3 + c. The total time is 6 hours... 5/(3 - c) + 5/(3 + c) = 6 Once we put everything over the same denominator, we don't need it anymore. 5(3 + c) + 5(3 - c) = 6(3 - c)(3 + c) 15 + 5c + 15 - 5c = 54 - 6c2
30 = 54 - 6c26c2 = 24c2 = 4c = 2 2 mph
