X - 7 > 10
x > 10 + 7
x > 17
3x < = 21
x < = 21/3
x < = 7
5a - 2 < 18
5a < 18 + 2
5a < 20
a < 20/5
a < 4
2t + 8 > = -4 (t + 1)
2t + 8 > = -4t - 4
2t + 4t > = -4 - 8

t > = -2
Jenna is correct because the square root of a rational number can still be irrational.
Take for example the square root of 2. It is an irrational number than goes 1.41421...
If you multiply just the first however many digits of the result by itself, you will never end up with a perfect 2, because the square root is irrational.
im assuming you need to know the length of the 7 equal bits of ribbon. the original length of ribbon - the length of ribbon left over = 7x
170.9-16.2=154.7. 154.7/7=x = 22.1
each length of ribbon was 22.1 inches long
