X-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(x+3)

First, clear out the fraction.  Mult. both sides of this inequality by 2(x+3):

x-2 greater than or equal to  6(2)(x+3) 

x-2 greater than or equal to  12x + 36 becomes

-38 greater than or equal to 11x

Thus, -38/11 is greater than or equal to x, or

x is smaller than or equal to -38/11

check:  try x = -44/11 = -4 (this is smaller than -38/11)

Substitute -4 into the original inequality:

x-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(x+3)

becomes

-4-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(-4+3)

or 

-6
---- = 3.  Is this greater than or equal to 6?  No.
-2

So, choose a different test value for x:  Try one that's on the other side of 
-38/11.  I'll try 0.

Then 

0-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(0+3)

-2
---- = -1/3.  Unfortunately, this is not greater than or equal to 6.
6

Thus, this tentative solution fails.


Trying again:

x-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2x + 6

Multiply both sides by 2x+6:  x-2 is greater than or equal to 6(2x+6)

Then x-2 is greater than or equal to 12x + 36

Add 2 to both sides:  x is gr. than or = to 12x + 38

Subtr. 38 from both sides:   -38 + x is gr than or equal to 12x, or

-38 is gr than or = to 11x, and -38/11 is gr than or = to x (same as before).

Again, -4 proves NOT to be a solution.  Thus, the interval (-infinity, -38/11) is not part of the solution set.

Trying x = 2,

2-2
------------- comes out to 0, which is NOT greater than or equal to 6.
2(2) + 6

Thus, (-38/11, infinity) is not a solution set either.

NO SOLUTION!

How do you find The area of an irregular shape
charle [14.2K]
Regular shapes are shapes that have sides that are all equal and interior angles are also equal.

Irregular shapes are shapes that vary in the measurement of sides and interior angles.

To find the area of an irregular shape, break it down into various regular shape and individually compute its area. Add up all the area of the regular shapes formed from the irregular shape to get the area of the irregular shape.

An example of an irregular shape is the outline of a house. 

Pointed roof over a square room. There are two regular shapes found in this irregular shape. A square and a triangle. Compute its individual area and add up these two areas to get the area of the house.

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. 5 - 10x - 3x2 = 0
horsena [70]

Answer:

x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 − 10x − 3x² = 0

Write in standard form:

-3x² − 10x + 5 = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

x = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a

x = [ -(-10) ± √((-10)² − 4(-3)(5)) ] / 2(-3)

x = [ 10 ± √(100 + 60) ] / -6

x = (10 ± 4√10) / -6

x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3
