Factor out the -3
(-3)(x^2-2x+3)
10 <0.25 (x + 1) <11
We must solve two inequalities in this case.
Inequality 1:
10 <0.25 (x + 1)
10 / 0.25 <x + 1
40 <x + 1
40-1 <x
39 <x
Inequality 2:
0.25 (x + 1) <11
(x + 1) <11 / 0.25
(x + 1) <44
x <44-1
x <43
The final result is:
39 <x <43
Answer:
39 <x <43
Answer:
x therefore will be equal to 4
The hot tub takes in 1,520 watts everyday to keep its water warm. A kilowatt has 1,000 watts (hence kilo means 1,000). 1,520 divided by 1,000 equals 1.520. However, this isn't free electricity - Each kilowatt costs 8 cents or 0.08 of a dollar. 1.520 x 0.08 = 12.160 or $12.16. We aren't done yet! This hot tub runs for 4 months (and we are assuming these months exactly have 30 days each). 4 x 30 = 120. $12.16 x 120 = $1,459.20. In order to keep the hot tub running, you need to pay 1,459.20 for all the kilowatts of electricity it takes.
Tonne is a metric unit equal to 1000 kilograms.
