87 24/25.......24/25 = 0.96......answer is 87.96
224 7/10....7/10 = 0.7....answer is 224.7
686 49/50...49/50 = 0.98...answer is 686.98
To make the exponent rational, for square root use 1/2. To wit:
10^(1/2)
5 squared is 5x5. And 2 cubed is 2x2x2. So, the answer would be 200.
The inequality would look like this:
-2 (3x + 2)

-6x-4
To begin to find the solutions, distribute the -2 throughout the set of parenthesis on the left side of the inequality by multiplying the -2 by each term in the set of parenthesis
-2 x 3x = -6x
-2 x 2 = -4
-6x -4

-6x-4
Begin to isolate x by performing the opposite operation of adding -6x on both sides of the inequality
0x -4

-4
Next perform the opposite operation by adding 4 on both sides of the inequality
0x

0
Now, I'm not exactly understanding how that can possibly work. So, I guess I didn't really help you. But add a comment so that we can talk about the problem :)
