Answer:

4 - ( 3x - 8 ) = 21

break the bracket first ,it gives : 4 - 3x + 8 = 21

12 - 3x = 21

- 3x = 21 - 12

- 3x = 9

-x = 9/3

-x = 3

X = - 3

[ check if the answer is correct, put -3 instead of X in the above equation ! we get 4 - { 3(-3) - 8 } = 21

4 - { - 9 - 8 } = 21

4 - { - 17 } = 21

break the bracket, minus and minus will multiply and will become plus , so we have 4 + 17 = 21 , hence 21 = 21 ! therefore X = -3

Answer:

F. 6s > 4s +8

Step-by-step explanation:

From a reference point at the beginning of the track, Ward's car will be located 4s+8 feet down the track after s seconds. That is, it starts 8 feet down the track, and increases its distance by 4 feet every second.

From the same reference point, Heskey's car will be located 6s feet down the track after s seconds. Its distance starts from zero and is increasing at the rate of 6 feet every second.

For Heskey's distance to exceed Ward's distance you want ...

6s > 4s +8 . . . . . . matches choice F
