Let's solve the first inequality at first. So,
−2(x + 4) + 10 < x − 7
-2x- 8 + 10 < x - 7 By distribution property.
-2x + 2 < x - 7 Adding the like terms.
-2x < x - 7 - 2 Subtract 2 from each sides.
-2x < x - 9 By simplifying.
-2x - x < -9 Subtract x from each sides.
-3x < -9
Since we are dividing by negative 3. So, sign of inequality will get change.
So, x>3
Now the next inequality is,
−2x + 9 > 3(x + 8)
-2x + 9 > 3x + 24
-2x > 3x + 24 - 9
-2x > 3x + 15
-2x - 3x > 15
-5x >15
So, x <-3
Hence, the correct choice is x > 3 or x < −3.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of one of the boards = 8 feet
Converting to inches
One cut is 16 inches
So, we divide the length of the board by 16
So, one board is cut into 6 pieces.
The other board is also 8 feet long.
So, the number of pieces the other board is cut into is also 6.
Hence, a total of pieces of each 16 inches long can be cut from the two boards.
