Margaret and Peter purchased timber to build the frame of their house. They
purchased a length of 342 metres of timber. If the wastage was 8%, what length of
timber was actually used in the frame?

314.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of timber wasted = 8/100 × 342 = 27.36

Therefore, subtract 27.36 from 342 to get the length of timber that was used

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
