Sure! Let’s tackle each question step-by-step:

### Q1: Solve the equation
**Equation:**
\[ 3 = -2|14s - 5| + 3 \]

**Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides**
\[ 0 = -2|14s - 5| \]

**Step 2: Divide by -2**
\[ 0 = |14s - 5| \]

This implies:
\[ 14s - 5 = 0 \]
\[ 14s = 5 \]
\[ s = \frac{5}{14} \]
**Answer:** \( s = \frac{5}{14} \)

### Q2 Part A: Identify the error in steps

**The original equation:**
\[ -14(20x - 8) = 15(10x) + 16 \]
**Step 1:** Correctly expands to:
\[ -280x + 112 = 150x + 16 \]

**Correct identification of error:**

The error appears at **Step 1** where it states: \[-5x + 2 = 2x + 16\]. The left side doesn't match.

### Q2 Part B: Solve the equation correctly

**Starting from the original equation:**
\[ -14(20x - 8) = 15(10x) + 16 \]

**Step 1: Expand both sides**
\[ -280x + 112 = 150x + 16 \]

**Step 2: Add \( 280x \) and subtract \( 16 \) from both sides**
\[ 112 - 16 = 150x + 280x \]
\[ 96 = 430x \]

**Step 3: Divide by 430**
\[ x = \frac{96}{430} = \frac{48}{215} \]

**Answer:** \( x = \frac{48}{215} \)

### Q3: Solve for \( h \)
**Formula:**
\[ S = 2r^2 + 2rh \]

**Step 1: Isolate terms with \( h \)**
\[ S - 2r^2 = 2rh \]

**Step 2: Solve for \( h \)**
\[ h = \frac{S - 2r^2}{2r} \]

**Answer:** \( h = \frac{S - 2r^2}{2r} \)

### Q4: Find the normal hourly rate
You worked 46 hours, with 6 hours over time. Let normal hourly rate = \( x \).

**Step 1:** Calculate the earnings:
\[ 40x + 6(1.2x) = 462.56 \]
\[ 40x + 7.2x = 462.56 \]
\[ 47.2x = 462.56 \]

**Step 2:** Divide:
\[ x = \frac{462.56}{47.2} \approx 9.79 \]

**Answer:** Normal hourly rate is approximately $9.79.

### Q5: Find the number \( n \)
**Equation:**
\[ 2n + 13 = 75 \]

**Step 1: Subtract 13 from both sides**
\[ 2n = 62 \]

**Step 2: Divide by 2**
\[ n = 31 \]

**Answer:** \( n = 31 \)

### Q6: Solve the inequality
**Inequality:**
\[ -7.5 < 2 - h \quad \text{or} \quad 6h + 5 > 71 \]

**For:** \( -7.5 < 2 - h \)
- Step 1: Rearranging gives \( h < 9.5 \)

**For:** \( 6h + 5 > 71 \)
- Step 1: Subtract 5 gives \( 6h > 66 \)
- Step 2: Divide by 6 gives \( h > 11 \)

**Final solution:**
\[ h < 9.5 \text{ or } h > 11 \]

**Graph:**
Numbers less than 9.5 and greater than 11 on a number line.

### Q7: Write an inequality for m
Assuming the graph shows a minimum wage, you will typically write:
\[ m \geq \text{minimum hourly wage value} \]

### Q8: Solve the equation
**Equation:**
\[ 280 = -8(-14 + x) \]

**Step 1: Distribute**
\[ 280 = 112 - 8x \]

**Step 2: Rearranging:**
\[ 280 - 112 = -8x \]
\[ 168 = -8x \]

**Step 3: Divide by -8:**
\[ x = -21 \]

**Answer:** \( x = -21 \)

### Q9: Solve \( 20x + 5y = 15 \) for \( y \)
**Step 1: Isolate \( 5y \)**
\[ 5y = 15 - 20x \]

**Step 2: Divide by 5**
\[ y = 3 - 4x \]

**Answer:** \( y = 3 - 4x \)

### Q10: Solve the formula
**Equation:**
\[ S = L - rL \]
**Step 1: Factor**
\[ S = L(1 - r) \]

**Step 2: Solve for \( r \)**
\[ 1 - r = \frac{S}{L} \]
\[ r = 1 - \frac{S}{L} \]

**List price of the shirt is $21.50 and \( S = L - rL\):**
Calculate discount percent with \( S \) being the final sale price. Assuming \( S \) is unknown here, replace \( S \) with \( L - rL \) to find:

**Example: \( r = 1 - \frac{\text{Sale Price}}{21.50} \)**

### Q11: Meeting time
**Equation:**
\[ 50h = 190 - 45h \]

**Step 1: Rearranging**
\[ 50h + 45h = 190 \]
\[ 95h = 190 \]

**Step 2: Divide**
\[ h = 2 \]

**Answer:** You will meet after 2 hours.

### Q12: Solve the inequality
**Inequality:**
\[ 4 - 2m > 7 - 3m \]

**Step 1: Rearranging gives**
\[ -2m + 3m > 7 - 4 \]
\[ m > 3 \]

**Answer:** \( m > 3 \)

### Q13: Graph the inequality
**Inequality:**
\[ x > 2 \]

**Graph:**
On a number line, an open circle at 2, shading to the right.

### Q14: Altitude of the plane
**Equation:**
\[ 21000 = 3400t + 600 \]

**Step 1: Rearranging gives**
\[ 21000 - 600 = 3400t \]
\[ 20400 = 3400t \]

**Step 2: Divide**
\[ t = \frac{20400}{3400} = 6 \]

**Answer:** It will take 6 minutes to reach 21,000 feet.
