Question

2. Solve the compound inequality 3x + 4 > 5 and x – 2 < 7. Clearly show and explain each step ??

Answer 1

Solve each inequality separately:
3x+4>5 and x-2<7
3x>1 subtracting 4 from both sides.
x>1/3 divide both sides by 3.

Can you solve for x in the second inequality and tell me what you got?

Answer 2

i have no clue what you just did.. so i cant..

Answer 3

Solve each inequality for x, that is what I did.

Answer 4

treat inequality exactly as an equation, except when you multiply or divide by a negative number, which we are not doing here. So look at the statements again. and solve both separately to find the value of x

Answer 5

You can do the same operations as you would when doing a linear equation.
3x+4>5
3x>1 subtracting 4 from both sides.
x>1/3 divide both sides by 3.
Do you not understand this?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

then solve for x:
x-2<7.
What do you get?

Answer 8

x-2<7
x<7 add 2 to both sides. ?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

Yes. So you should have: x<9

Answer 11

oh yeah lol.. so whats the final answer for the problem?

Answer 12

So after solving you have:
x>1/3 and x<9, we need to figure what range of values for x in both cases would make both equations true.
Is x=2 a solution. That is 2>1/3 and 2<9?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

So the values for x that would be a solution has to fall within 1/3 and 9:
Answer: {x| x>1/3 and x<9} or {x|1/3<x<9}

Answer 15

Anymore questions?

Answer 16

3. Solve = 5. ? what does this mean?

Answer 17

3. Solve l4x-3l = 5

Answer 18

@philo1234 ?

Answer 19

Solving absolute equation:
1. Ensure that the absolute expression is by itself on one side
|4x-3|=5
2. Check: The absolute value of an expression has to be equal to or greater than 0. If
negative then there is no solution otherwise there is a solution.
2. 2 cases:
Case1: Case 2:
4x-3 = 5 or 4x-3= -5

Solve for x in both cases. Can you do them and tell me what you got?
