Question

What are the solutions of the inequality? 12x – 3x + 11 > 4x – (17 – 9x)

Answer 1

12x – 3x + 11 > 4x – (17 – 9x)
(12-3)x + 11 > 4x - 17 + 9x
(12-3)x + 11 > (4+9)x - 17
9x + 11 > 13x - 17
Subtract 9x from both sides, what do you get?

Answer 2

11>4x-17

Answer 3

Then, add 17 to both sides, what do you get?

Answer 4

28>4x then you divide?

Answer 5

Divided both sides by 4

Answer 6

did u get the message i sent you with the problem in it

Answer 7

Oh... yes... but can we finish this question first?

Answer 8

its 7>x

Answer 9

Yes, but you need to make x on the left.

Answer 10

ok thanks x<7

Answer 11

Yes :) Perfect!

Answer 12

Here's your question:
p + 4 – 2(p – 10) > 0
Expand the last term on the left first
p + 4 – 2(p – 10) > 0
p + 4 - 2p - 2 (-10) > 0
p + 4 - 2p + 20 > 0
Can you simplify the terms on the left first?

Answer 13

p+24-2p>0

Answer 14

p+24-2p>0
p - 2p + 24 >0
Can you further simplify it?

Answer 15

-1p+24>0

Answer 16

Hmmm.... -1p = -p
So, you get -p + 24>0 now.
Add p on both sides, what do you get?

Answer 17

im not sure

Answer 18

-p + 24>0
p -p + 24 > 0 + p
Got it?

Answer 19

so its 24?

Answer 20

Nope :| It's inequality!

Answer 21

so whats the answer

Answer 22

:|
After simplifying it, you should get
24 > p
As I've said before, p should be on the left. So, what's the answer?

Answer 23

p<24

Answer 24

Yes :)

Answer 25

okk i will proble have some more

Answer 26

Sorry, I'll be going soon....
Ask the question in a new thread, I'm sure some users here can help you :)
