2.8 = 2 + 0.8
*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction
0.8 = 8/10
*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:
(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5
*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:
2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5
*Now we add the fractions together:
2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5
10/5 + 4/5
*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5
(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5
*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:
answer is: 14/5

6 one-dollars = $6 15 five-dollars = $75 9 ten-dollars = $90 Add them
all up to get $171, so that is correct. Add the number of one-dollar
bills and the number of ten-dollar bills together. 6 + 9 = 15, which is
the number of five-dollar bills, so that is correct as well. Add all the
numbers of bills together, 6 + 9 + 15 = 15 + 15 = 30.

Answer:
x < -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-x - 10 > 14 + 2x
Subtract 2x from both sides;
-3x - 10 > 14
Add 10 to both sides;
-3x > 24
Divide both sides by -3
The sign switches when divide by a negative number.
x < -8
