Which situation can match the given inequality? 7x < 4x + 5
The cost of 7 journals is $5 greater than the cost of 4 journals.
The cost of 7 journals is less than the cost of 4 journals plus a $5 novel.
The cost of 7 journals is less than the cost of 4 journals with a $5 off coupon. The cost of 7 journals is greater than the cost of 4 journals plus a $5 novel.

The cost of 7 journals is less than the cost of 4 journals plus a $5 novel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the cost of a journal

Verify each case

case 1) The cost of 7 journals is $5 greater than the cost of 4 journals

In this case the equation would be

case 2) The cost of 7 journals is less than the cost of 4 journals plus a $5 novel.

so

solve for x

subtract 4x both sides

divide by 3 both sides

so

The cost of one journal must be less than $1.67

case 3) The cost of 7 journals is less than the cost of 4 journals with a $5 off coupon.

so

The inequality would be

case 4) The cost of 7 journals is greater than the cost of 4 journals plus a $5 novel.

so

The inequality would be

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
