Answer:
x > -5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify by combining x and 4/5 and then moving 4 to the left side of x
-x * 4/5 + 3/10 < 8/10
-4x/5 + 3/10 < 8/10
Now we cancel the common factor of 8 and 10.
Factor 2 out of 8
-4x/5 + 3/10 < 2(4)/10
2 from 10
-4x/5 + 3/10 < 4/5
Now move all the terms not containing x to the right side
Lets subtract 3/10 from both sides
-4x/5 < 4/5 - 3/10
Now we multiply by 2/2 to write 4/5 with a common denomi.
-4x/5 < 4/5 * 2/2 - 3/10
Now write with a common denom of 10 and multiply by 1
-4x/5 < 4*2/5 * 2 - 3/10
5 by 2
-4x/5 < 4 * 2/10 - 3/10
Combine
-4x/5 < 4 * 2 - 3/10
Simplify the numerator by multiplying then subtracting
-4x/5 < 8 - 3/10
-4x/5 < 5/10
Cancel the common factor of 5 and 10...
-4x/5 < 5(1)/10
-4x/5 5* 1/5 * 2
-4x/5 < 1/2
Now we divide by -1
-4x/5)/-1 > 1/2)/-1
4x/5 > 1/2)-1
4x/5 > -1/2
Multiply both sides by 5 and cancel common factors. (5)
4x * 5 > -1/2 * 5
4x > -1/2 * 5
4x > -5/2
Now divide by 4 in each term
4x/4 > -5/2)/4
x > -5/2)/4
Multiply the numer by the reciprocal of the denom
x > -5/1 * 1/4
x > -5/4 * 2
x > -5/8

Answer is -28</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
T(2) = 20 means the second term is 20
T(1) = 26 because we go backwards from what the rule says (subtract 6) to step back one term. Going forward, 26-6 = 20.
Since a = 26 is the first term and d = -6 is the common difference, the nth term is
T(n) = a + d*(n-1)
T(n) = 26 + (-6)(n-1)
T(n) = 26 - 6n + 6
T(n) = -6n + 32
Plugging n = 1 into the equation above leads to T(1) = 26. Using n = 2 leads to T(2) = 20.
Plug in n = 10 to find the tenth term
T(n) = -6n + 32
T(10) = -6(10) + 32
T(10) = -60+32
T(10) = -28
That would be 6552 / 12 = 546 boxes.
(Im assuming that its 6552 ounces of cereal )
26,500 - 19,610 = 6,890
6,890 would be your price discount, but now you'd have to find your percent discount. Make it into an equation to make things easier.
6,890/26,500 = p/100
(6,890*100)/26,500 = p
6,890*100 = 689,000
689,000/26,500 = 26
The price discount would be 26%.
