Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

27 is the "center" of a range of measurements of the height of the guard rail.  The height could be as much as 30 inches or as little as 24 inches.  The absolute value operator encloses "x - 27," where 27 is the "center."  The acceptable excess or acceptable deficiency is 3 inches.  

So now we can eliminate possible answers B and C, in both cases because 27 is inappropriately greater than 3.

Narrowing down our choices, we have h + 27 and h - 27 inside the absolute value operator.  27 is a positive quantity (height of the guard rail), so the inequality showing +27 as the "center" is correct; that is

D:  |h - 27| ≤ 3 (measurements in inches).

Solve for x.<br> −7≥13−5x
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

\[=>x\geq 4\]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality is \[−7\geq13−5x\]

Simplifying:

\[5x\geq13+7\]

\[=>5x\geq20\]

\[=>x\geq \frac{20}{5}\]

\[=>x\geq 4\]

Hence the solution for the given inequality is represented by  \[=>x\geq 4\]

This means that the original inequality will be true only for those values of x which are greater than or equal to 4.
