Answer:
x=2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, solve the inequality:

Since x is <u>greater than</u> -8, you have the arrow point up the graph towards the positive side starting at -8.
Since it's greater than but not equal to -8, the circle is open.
Thus your graph is
D.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
All that is required here is to substitute x = 2x into the right side in the same way that is done for a numeric value.

Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm
we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16
x=

or

aprox
x=-1.52786 or -10.4721
those are the numbers
the numbes are -1.52786 or -10.4721
