A number b times -16
is greater than 5

Write the Inequality

A number b times -16 is greater than 5.

A number b is a variable... b.

Times means multiply.

-16 is what you are multiplying b by.

Is greater than means the greater than symbol.

5 is what the past statements are greater than.

So this is the inequality.

-16b > 5

Solve the Inequality

You need to isolate b.

To do this, divide each side by -16. You do this because b is being multiplied by -16. You know that any number divided by that number equals 1, canceling the number.

-16b ÷ -16 = b

5 ÷ -16 = -5/16

So you get b > -5/16

So to make the inequality true, b must be more than -5/16.

Or as an inequality...

b > -5/16

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

answer: finding the extract measurements and knowing the points
