Question

When 9 is increased by 3x, the result is greater than 36 . What is the least possible integer value for x ?

The correct answer is: x = 10


    HINT: Frame the inequality and then solve.
    Complete step by step solution:
    Given that 3x is increased by 9, so we get LHS to be 3x + 9
    It is also given that the result is greater than 36 means, it can be written as 3x + 9 > 36
    On subtracting 9 from both the sides, we get 3x > 27
    Divide on both the sides by 3, then we get x > 9
    So least possible integer value for x = 10.

    Tara rode her bicycle along a straight road from her home to a restaurant and ate lunch. She then continued along the same road to a movie theater to see a movie. Finally, she returned home on the same road after the movie. Tara's distance from home during the 4 hours she was out is shown in the graph above. How many total miles did she ride her bicycle?

    The connection length between the two points of the line segment is used to measure the distance between them. The length of the line segment, the shortest distance between a point and a line, is the separation between them.
    ¶The path length between two points is known as the distance. The meter serves as the SI unit for distance.
    ¶A scalar quantity, distance. The entire path of an object has taken to define distance. An illustration. If a turn is taken to head north for an additional 8 km, a car must travel a total of 13 km if it travels east for 5 km first.
