I have a question on compound inequality?? The question is 6(x + 2) > 3(2x-5). I got 0>27..... So will it be no solution or all real no's?? PLEASE HELP!!!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

6(x + 2) > 3(2x-5) 6x + 12 > 6x-15 12 > -15 is that true or false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so there are an infinite number of solutions

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

since any real number is a solution for x

what would happen if the the inequality was greater than or equal to

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

same thing would happen, 12 > -15 is true and so is 12 >= -15
