four students wrote expressions using the variable t below. If t represents a positive integer, whose expression had the greatest value?

Devon

Step-by-step explanation:

lets use t=1 to compare

1. -5(12t+9)

if t = 1, -5(12+9) = -5(21) = negative number

2. 2(-6t-8)

if t = 1, 2(-6-8) = 2(-14) = negative number

3. -6(-2t+18)

if t = 1, -6(-2+18) = -6(16) = negative number

4. (-4(-3t-2)

if t = 1, -4(-3-2) = -4(-5) = 20 positive number

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
