Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 2x from each side
2x+3=4x+1
-2x -2x
3=2x+1
subtract 1 from each side
3=2x+1
-1 -1
2=2x
divide each side by 2
2=2x
1=x
The diameter of the new rubber ball, to the nearest foot, must be D = 4.0 ft (in the case of the maximum cost).
<h3>
How to find the diameter of the ball?</h3>
Remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the surface area is:
A = 4*pi*(D/2)^2
In this case, the cost is $0.02 per square foot, and the company wants to expend (at maximum) $1 per ball, so first we need to solve:
$0.02*A = $1
A = $1/$0.02 = 50
So the surface of the ball must be 50 square feet.
Then we solve:
50ft^2 = 4*3.14*(D/2)^2
D = 2*√(50 ft^2/(4*3.14)) = 4.0 ft

Yes you are correct. You divide both sides by -6 to isolate x. Dividing both sides by a negative number will flip the inequality sign.
If you need to graph this, then you'll have a closed circle at -12 on the number line. Then you'll have shading to the left of this closed circle. The closed circle indicates "include this endpoint as part of the shaded solution set".
