Leila is designing a rectangular table. It is 3 ft by x/4 ft. What is the inequality you would use if the area is to be 12 square feet or less?
(3)(x/4) < or =12
b + 1/8 < -2
b < -17/8
x - 2 > -6
x >-4
3.5 x < 7
x < 2
-2/3 x < 2
x > -3
Solve (3)(x/4) < or =12 for x
x< or equal to 16
x + 7 > 10
x > 3
x - 2.5 > 8.7
x > 11.2
-1/2 x < 6
x > -12
-x/3>2
x < -6
x< or = 16. What is the range of values for x that are reasonable in the context that this is the area of a rectangular table.
The side lengths of the table must be positive, so x must be greater than zero but < or = 16
x + 1 3/5 < -2
x < -18/5
x - 0.3 > 1.45
x > 1.75
-x < -4
x > 4
w/-4 > -1
w<4
The veterinarian told Hector that his 8-inch puppy would get no taller than 24 inches. Write and solve an inequality to find how myuch more his puppy, may grow.
8+x< or = 24
x< or = 16 in
2x + 5 > 35
x > 15
2x - 6 < 16
x < 11
4x > 12
x > 3
