5. The product of 6 and the difference of 6x and 3 is less than or equal to the product of -2 and the sum of 4 and 8x. Write and solve an inequality for the statement above. No need to graph.

i agree because i see the other persons thinking is clear

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

why are you giving so many marks make your marks less and make a question list so that i can understand your question very nicely
