Solution:
1. 9x-6<-33
Adding 6 both sides, we get
9x-6+6<-33+6
9x<-27
Multiplying both sides by 1/9 we get
9x*1/9<-27*1/9
x<-3
2. A car rents for $50 per day plus 20 cents per mile; You are on a daily budget of $88. What mileage will allow you to stay within your budget?
Let m be the mileage, total cost=50+0.2*m=50+0.2m
Budget is $88
So, 50+0.2m 88
Adding -50 both sides we get
50+0.2m-50 88-50
0.2m 38
Multiplying by (1/0.2=5) both sides, we get
5*0.2m 38*5
m 190
The solution is {m l m < 190 }
3. The formula R = - 0.075t + 3.85 can be used to predict the worlds record in the 1500 ...
