You would have to first distribute the -2 to the x+3 which gives you -2x-6. Then you would subtract the 4 which gives you -2x-10 on the left side. Now you have the equation -2x-10>4x+30. Move the 4x to the other side giving you -6x-10>30. Now add the 10 from the other side which leaves you with -6x>40. Now remember when you divide by a negative in an inequality, you HAVE TO flip the sign giving you the answer of x<-20/3.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 3
Discussion:
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the side lengths.
Perimeter of top polygon is (x+2) + 2x + (x + 2) + (4x + 1) = 8x + 5
Perimeter of bottom triangle is 4x + 2x + (3x+2 ) = 9x + 2
The perimeters are the same when
8x + 5 = 9x + 2
Subtract 8x from both sides:
5 = (9x - 8x) + 2 or
5 = x + 2
Subtract 2 from each side to get x = 3:
5 -2 = 3 = x
The perimeter of either figure is 29

It’s unsolvable with out more context. What’s the rest of the problem.
If Dan is 8x years old next year then he must be 8x-1 years old this year
With the same logic, five years ago from this year, he must be 8x-1-5=8x-6
The answer should be 8x-6
The <u>correct answer</u> is:
As x→-∞, y→-3.
As x→∞, y→∞.
Explanation:
As our values of x get further into the negative numbers, the value of 2ˣ will approach 0. This is because raising a number to a negative exponent "flips" the number below the denominator and raises it to a power; we end up with smaller and smaller fractions, eventually so small that they nearly equal 0.
This will make the value of the function 0-3=-3.
As x gets larger and larger (towards ∞), the value of y, 2ˣ, continues to grow as well. Since it continues to grow exponentially, we say the value approaches ∞.
