Answer:
x <8
Step-by-step explanation:
-14x > -112
Divide each side by -14. Remember that flips the inequality
-14x/-14 < -112/-14
x <8
I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.
8 (2x - 14) + 13 = 4x -27
distribute 8 through the parentheses
16x - 112 + 13 = 4x - 27
combine like terms
16x - 99 = 4x -27
subtract 4x from each side
12x - 99 = -27
add 99 to each side
12x = 72
divide each side by 12
x = 6
