For which values of x is the inequality 2(1 + x) > x + 8 true?

Step-by-step explanation:

                use distributive property

      subtract 2 from both sides

          subtract x from both sides

x = 25

step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

7^2+24^2=c^2

49+576=625

sqrt625=25

x=25

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
