Question

I rlly need help on this homework

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

First, let's use the Distributive Property.

It states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Therefore

5(2h+8)=10h+40

10h+40<60

Move all the numbers to the right, using the opposite operation:

10h<60-40

10h<20

h<2

Hope this helps. Use the comment section to clarify your doubts.

Answer 2

Hey there!

5(2h + 8) < 60

= 5(2h) + 5(8) < 60

= 10h + 40 < 60

SUBTRACT 40 to BOTH SIDES

= 10h + 40 - 40 < 60 - 40

CANCEL out: 40 - 40 because it gives you 0

KEEP: 60 - 40 because it helps solve for the h-value.

NEW EQUATION: 10h < 60 - 40

SIMPLIFY IT!

= 10h < 20

DIVIDE 10 to BOTH SIDES

= 10h/10 < 20/10

CANCEL out: 10/10 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 20/10 because it gives you the result of the h-value

NEW EQUATION: h < 20/10

SIMPLIFY IT!

= h < 2

Therefore, your answer is: h < 2

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
