Since I just realized that you meant x^2-2x+1, let me evaluate this step by step:
x^2-2x+1
((-3)^2)-(2(-3))+1
9-(-6)+1
9+6+1
16
Therefore, that would equal 16.
Answer:
x > -99/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I must assume that you meant (-2/5)x -9<9/10.
This inequality has 3 terms. The LCD is 10. Multiply each term by 10 and reduce the result:
10(-2/5)x - 10(9) < 10(9/10), or:
-4x - 90 < 9
Adding 90 to both sides results in:
-4x < 99
Here we must divide by a negative number (that is, by -4). This requires reversing the direction of the inequality sign:
x > -99/4 is the final solution.
