Solving inequalities is just like solving any other Algebraic problem...look to P.E.M.D.A.S. (Parenthesis, Exponents, Division, Addition, Subtraction). So lets take a look at this problem now.

1200 + 0.075x $\geq$ 3300

Subtract 1200 from both sides...
0.075x $\geq$ 2100

Now divide by 0.075...
x $\geq$ 28000

NOTE: If you divide or multiple by a negative number while solving inequalities, you must flip the sign. Ex: You answer would be x $\leq$ 28000 if you would've multiplied or divided by a negative.

Answer:

x = -2.32, 10.32 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x - 24 = 0

x = [ - (-8) +/- sqrt (((-8)^2 - 4*1*(-24)] / 2

= 4 +/- sqrt160/2

= 4 +/- 6.3245

= -2.32, 10.32.
