Mathematical Connections Jake's solution to the equation - 4(2x - 3) = 36 is shown.
-4(2x - 3) = 36
-8x + 12 - 36
- 8x + 12 - 12 = 36 - 12
-8x = 24
8x24
-8
X=-3
How is the solution to -4(2x - 3) > 36 similar to
and different from the solution shown?

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4
