I'm not exactly sure how to describe step 2, but here is how the solution progresses:
5 - 8x < 2x + 3
Subtracting 3 from both sides gives:
5 - 3 < 2x + 8x
Simplifying:
2 < 10x
Dividing both sides by 10:
x > 0.2
(Apologies if any part is incorrect)

Answer:

Starting with the inequality: 5-8x

First, subtract 3 from each side:

5-8x-3 or

2-8x

Next, add 8x to both sides:

2-8x+8x or

2

Finally, divide every term by 10, the coefficient of x:

\frac{2}{10}< \frac{10x}{10}

Simplify to get:

\frac{1}{5}

Hence, the missing step is: Adding 8x to both sides of the inequality.

C. -31m⁴n - 8m²Step-by-step explanation:Given:(9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)Required:Identify an equivalent expression for itSolution:Distributing the negative sign across the parentheses results in:9mn - 19m⁴n - 8m² - 12m⁴n - 9mnNext, we combine like terms:9mn - 9mn - 19m⁴n - 12m⁴n - 8m²This simplifies to -31m⁴n - 8m²Thus, -31m⁴n - 8m² is the equivalent expression for (9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn).

Un ingeniero civil a cargo de una obra contrata una cierta cantidad de obreros. Estima que, si le
lawyer [12517]

Al establecer un sistema de ecuaciones lineales, se determina que el total de obreros que contrató el ingeniero civil es 50.

Para descubrir cuántos obreros fueron contratados, se debe formular un sistema de ecuaciones lineales con dos ecuaciones y dos incógnitas, de la siguiente manera:

M - 1400*x = -8000   (1)

M - 1200*x = 2000   (2)

Donde:

M: representa la incógnita correspondiente al capital del ingeniero

x: simboliza la incógnita que denota el total de obreros

De la ecuación (1) podemos deducir:

M = 1400*x - 8000   (3)

Utilizando la ecuación (3) en la ecuación (2) podríamos calcular el valor de x (número de obreros):

1400*x - 8000 - 1200*x = 2000

200*x = 10000

x = 50

El monto inicial del ingeniero, según la ec (3), sería:

M = 1400*50 - 8000 = 62000

Por lo que, el número de obreros contratados por el ingeniero es 50.

The community college fine arts department sold three kinds of tickets to its latest dance presentation. The adult tickets sold
babunello [11817]
Adult tickets sold = 75, Students = 200, Children = 75. To find the values, we use the variables for adult tickets, students, and children and set a series of equations based on the total tickets sold and both the pricing and quantity, leading to a solution of ticket counts.

If the farmer has 234 feet of fencing, what are the dimensions of the region which enclose the maximal area?
lawyer [12517]
The dimensions are 58 ft × 58 ft. Step-by-step explanation: Let the length of the region be represented as x feet, and the width as y feet. Given a perimeter of 234 feet, the area A can be represented as xy. By differentiating the equation with regards to x, we can determine the point of maximum area, revealing that for x = 58.5 feet, the area's maximum occurs when both dimensions are 58.5 ft.

What is the quotient (2x4 – 3x3 – 3x2 + 7x – 3) ÷ (x2 – 2x + 1)?
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

Quotient: 2x^2+x-3

Refer to the attached document.

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided: (2x^4-3x^3-3x^2+7x-3)\div (x^2-2x+1)

A rational expression is provided, and we need to compute the quotient.

We will utilize long division to obtain the quotient.

Initially, we eliminate 2x^4 by x^2

x^2-2x+1 ) 2x^4-3x^3-3x^2+7x-3 ( 2x^2+x-3

-2x^4+4x^3-2x^2

x^3-5x^2+7x

-x^3+2x^2-x

-3x^2+6x-3

3x^2-6x+3

0

Thus, the result of the division is 2x^2+x-3
