Solve the inequality.

12 (1/2 × -1/3) > 8 - 2x

A. x > 3
B. x > 3/2
C. x > 1/2
D. x > -1/2

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.

well it says right there your brother is 13; "your age". so lets keep it simple. you are 13 years old and there is no way to put this into any kind of equation without wanting to tear your hair out. who came up with this?
