1... -14 6(3k + 5)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer 1

-5/3, or in decimal form, -1.666.

Explanation:

a. -146 (3k+5) --- distribute the -146 to "3k" and "+5."

b. -438k - 730 = 0 --- get the variable k to one side of the equation.

c. -438k=730 --- divide by -438 on both sides.

d. the answer you get is 730/-438, which, in simpler terms, is -5/3, or -1.666.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

1. 5 > x
2. b < 8
3. k < 1

Explanation:

-14 < 1 + 8x - 5x

-14 < 1 + 3x

-15 < 3x

5 > x

-5b - 8(-2 - 2b) < 104

-5b + 16 + 16b < 104

11b + 16 < 104

11b < 88

b < 8

-4(5 + 8k) > 6(3k + 5)

-20 - 32k > 18k + 30

-32k > 18k + 50

-50k > 50

k < 1

Best of Luck!
