You want to start this problem by handling the parentheses and distributing the 12.
So 16x > 12(2x - 6) - 24 would become...
So 16x > 24x - 72 - 24
Next you would combine like terms...
So 16x > 24x - 96
Then to get rid of the negative you would add 96 to both sides...
So 16x + 96 > 24x
After that you would subtract 16x from both sides...
96 > 8x
Lastly, divide by 8 to get x.
12 > x

Answer:

A. The approximate y intercept appears to be about 1.8 (slightly less than 2). What this tells us is that someone with 0 months of practice could expect to win around 1.8 games.

B. Using slope intercept form and assuming that the y intercept is at (0, 1.8), the equation can be solved for by finding the slope first and then putting the slope and the y intercept into the equation.

Slope (m):

points (0, 1.8) and (1, 3.0)

(Y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(3.0-1.8)/(1-0)=1.2/1=1.2

Equation:

Y=mx+b

Y=1.2x+1.8
