Amachining company needs to manufacture more than 20 fixtures in a day. the company uses five identical machines to make the fixtures. if each machine produces x fixtures, which inequality represents this situation?

a.5x > 20

b. 5x < 20

c. 5x > 20 + 5

d. 5x < 20 + 5

Option (a) is correct.

5x > 20  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A machining company needs to manufacture more than 20 fixtures in a day.

Also The company uses five identical machines to make the fixtures.

We have to choose out of given option which inequality represents the given situation when each machine produces x fixtures.

Since , each machine produces x fixtures  

There are 5 identical machines to make the fixtures.

So, The company will make 5x fixtures in a day

and company needs to manufacture more than 20 fixtures in a day so 5x must be greater than 20.

So mathematically written as 5x > 20  

Thus, option (a) is correct.

-14

step-by-step explanation:

2x2 – 2(x+4)

=2x2-2（5+4）

=4-2×9

=4-18

=-14
