now, notice, the rate of change for downloading is negative, because, "y" is decreasing, namely the Mbs to be downloaded, are less and less and less as the minutes go by, because the file is almost fully downloaded
so is -4.8
now... at 8minutes, there are 9.6Mbs to download
bear in mind that 9.6 is just 4.8 * 2
that simply means, another minute, another 4.8 Mbs, and another minute and another 4.8 Mbs and the file is done
so, the file downloaded really in 10minutes
now, we know the rate is -4.8 or -24/5, let us nevermind the sign for now
since we know the file is downloading at 24Mbs in 5minutes, a rate of 24/5
how much is it for 10 minutes? well 10 is really just 5 * 2
so if it downloads at a rate of 24Mbs per 5mins, in 10 minutes it downloaded 24*2 or 48Mbs
For this case we have to:
x: Let the variable representing the unknown number
We algebraically rewrite the given expression:
Twice a number plus 10, is represented as:
Three times that number less 4. is represented as:
Thus, the complete expression is:
Subtracting 3x from both sides of the inequality:
Subtracting 10 from both sides of the inequality:
Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed:
We multiply by -1 on both sides, taking into account that the sense of inequality changes:
The solution is given by all values of "x" less than 14.
