Write the word sentence as an inequality. Then solve the inequality.

Five more than a number x is less than 17.

An inequality that represents this word sentence is x+5<17

The solution is ?

x≤11

Step-by-step explanation:

x+5<17, I can subtract 5 on both sides so

x+5<17

 -5  -5

x<12

that's wrong though because my x needs to make my answer less than x to make the statement true since we're looking for a value that is less than 17 not less than or equal to 17. So in conclusion, if x≤11 ( if x is less than or equal to 11), my statement will be true because 11+5<17=16<17, which is true. Even 10 or less is fine because it will still be smaller than 17 and that will keep my statement balanced.

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

10000

step-by-step explanation: divide by 2,
