Answer:
The correct answer is – 4/7
To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:
2(1 - x) > 2x Divide 2 on both sides

1 - x > x Add x on both sides to get "x" on one side of the inequality
1 - x + x > x + x
1 > 2x Divide 2 on both sides to get "x" by itself
or
(x is any number less than 1/2)
[Another way you could've solved it]
2(1 - x) > 2x Distribute 2 into (1 - x)
(2)1 + (2)(-x) > 2x
2 - 2x > 2x Add 2x on both sides
2 - 2x + 2x > 2x + 2x
2 > 4x Divide 4 on both sides to get "x" by itself


Answer:
8a. 0 8b. -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
slope formula: 
8a. => (8 + 12)/(17 - 17) = 20/0 = 0
8b. (1 + 2)/(-3 - 6) = 3/-9 = - 1/3
Total cost of item = $138
Explanation:
The tax percentage = 15%
cost of item = $120
sales tax = cost of item × The tax percentage
sales tax = 120 × 15%
=120 × 0.15
sales tax = $18
Total cost of item = initial cost of item + sales tax
Total cost of item = 120 + 18
Total cost of item = $138
