  1. Solve.
    1. 10x−25=−5x10x - 25 = - 5x
    2. 12.4−7.2x≤10x−1512.4 - 7.2x \le 10x - 15
    3. −38−3x≤18x−2 - \frac{3}{8} - 3x \le \frac{1}{8}x - 2
    4. 14x+2≤−34(3x−5)\frac{1}{4}x + 2 \le - \frac{3}{4}\left( {3x - 5} \right)
  2. Bob works for car dealer A which offers him a base rate of $800 and $15 for every car he sells. Tom works for car dealer B which gives him a base rate of $700 and $20 for each car he sells.
