a < -9
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :
5*a+18-(-27)<0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Pulling out like terms :
1.1 Pull out like factors :
5a + 45 = 5 • (a + 9)
Equation at the end of step 1 :
Step 2 :
2.1 Divide both sides by 5
Solve Basic Inequality :
2.2 Subtract 9 from both sides
a < -9
An inequality can be formed by simply translating the problem statement to numerical expressions.
From the problem we know that

added with

hours should be equal or greater than

(helpful insight from the keyword "at least"). Therefore, it's inequality would look like:

(>= is used instead of ≥ for constraints in formatting)
The inequality above best models the situation.
(f o g o h)(x) = f { g [ h(x) ] }
Which means: apply first function h, then apply function g to the result, and finally apply function f to the new result.
h(25) = √25 = 5
g(5) = 5 - 3 = 2
f(2) = 3(2) = 6.
Answer: 6
52/8 is 6.5 which is 6.5 days 15-6.5 is 8.5 and 8.5 • 8 is 68. 68+52 is the same as 15•8 so i’m pretty sure the answer is 68
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Now you can tell me wich is the closest number.
