Write an equality that represents eight less that three times a number is more than 22

3x - 8 > 22

Step-by-step explanation:

" eight less" means to subract 8 form something.  If you had 10 apples and I took some so now you had 8 less apples, you'd have 10 - 8 = 2 apples

"three times a number" means 3x.  3 times some number.

The expression 3x - 8 means "8 less than 3 times a number"

"is" is math is a statement of equality, either an equals sign or an inequality needs to go here.

Our inequality is

3x - 8 > 22        

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
