Please help me to understand and solve these!

OpenStudy (faman39):

@mathmate can you able to help me with this?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

DId you work out the solutions to each of the inequalities?

OpenStudy (faman39):

I didnt understand completely those problem, thats y

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Solve them as equations, and since they are <, so you need any answer that is smaller the equality.

OpenStudy (faman39):

I cant really get it how to do it, but i did somehow, where i got half n half write. I need to understand whole n how to find the rite answer

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The questions are all inequalities. Say you solve the first one as an equality: -2(1+z)+5z+5<11 -2-2z+4z+5<11 2z<11-3=8, or z<4 So any of the answers will fit for #1. Now proceed with #2, #3, #4 and try to move a,b,c,d around so that ALL the inequalities are satisfied.

OpenStudy (faman39):

cqn you wait, cuz i m gonna show you those.

OpenStudy (faman39):

First one will fit on which one, would it be 2

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Because they are not equations, but inequalities, you are better of doing all 4 of them before fitting anything. For example, all the answers a,b,c,d will fit in the first. So you don't know which one to choose until you have all 4 inequalities solved.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Note: inequalities have multiple answers.

OpenStudy (faman39):

So but i want to how will i get this answer matching correct answer

OpenStudy (faman39):

Of all of them

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Let say if you have a set of answers 1,3,5,7 and solutions to equations which are x<2,x<6,x<8,x<4 Then your choice would be to fit 1<2, 5<6, 7<8,3<4, or else you would have one left over such as: 1<2,3<6,5<8, but 7>4 will not work. That's why you need to work out all four before you can match.

OpenStudy (faman39):

Ok so, -2 (1 + z) +4z +5 <11 -2 + -2z + 4z + 5 <11 -2 + 2z + 5<11 so does it mean 2 will match or no?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

You have to solve it completely, -2+2z+5<11 2z+3<11 2z<8 z<4 Now you still have to solve the other three before you can start matching.

OpenStudy (faman39):

that 2 match with this one right?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

All four answers will match with this one. If you want to take a chance, choose the highest number that will match. But I suggest you work out ALL 4 inequalities, then match. That will be much more sure.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

all four will match, because 3<4 -3<4 2<4 0<4 . That is why I suggest you work out all four inequalities before matching.

OpenStudy (faman39):

All does not matched up, thats y, i m asking, how will i figure out all this

OpenStudy (mathmate):

If you want, you can pick 2<4. If you choose now, the rest may or may not work.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

1. Solve all FOUR inequalities, so you have 4 inequalities in hand, such as z<4 z< ? z< ? z< ? 2. Match the 4 given answers so that EVERY inequality works.

OpenStudy (faman39):

Second will be -3, am i right?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I'm afraid not. You have a problem with the sign.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

...unless you mean -z>-3

OpenStudy (faman39):

I was saying according that table which i showed

OpenStudy (faman39):

So it suppose to match up with b -3

OpenStudy (faman39):

right?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Inequalities are not equations. Solutions must remain inequalities. So the second one must be given in the form z<-3, or z>3, or z<3. -3 would not be the solution to an inequality. Can you show your work?

OpenStudy (faman39):

ok

OpenStudy (faman39):

3z - 5z +10 - 8 <6

OpenStudy (mathmate):

3z - 5z +10 - 8 does not look right. Can you check?

OpenStudy (faman39):

2z + 10 - 8 <6 so if this be 2, then other was not 2

OpenStudy (faman39):

I cant really know how to do these all

OpenStudy (faman39):

Problems seems really confusing to me

OpenStudy (mathmate):

3z - 5z +10 - 8 <6 is inorrect. it should be +5z and -10. How did you get the signs reversed?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Or written in full 3z+5z-10-8<6

OpenStudy (faman39):

so your saying it would match up with 3, right?

OpenStudy (faman39):

Thats how we find the 3

OpenStudy (mathmate):

You are going to far with matching. You need to solve ALL 4 inequalities before you can match. the answer to the second is then....?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I mean the \(solution\) to the second inequality is then....?

OpenStudy (faman39):

I dont get at all how to last four, thats y i put their answer by guess, i m sure those last two were wrong but there is two matching which i gave, it was correct

OpenStudy (mathmate):

If you don't need all four correct, that's ok. Go ahead and do it your way. I have no problem with that. Good luck with your guesses. :)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

In mathematics, you are allowed to guess, but you also need a way to check your answer. If you cannot do both, then, sorry, guessing is not the right way.

OpenStudy (faman39):

Thank you but all i wanted to know how to solve these, i havent done all by guess just two one which mite, but um not sure abt how to solve it to find exact answer to match. I just want to be clear abt all this

OpenStudy (faman39):

I m not getting to find all of it exact answer

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I repeat: 1. Solve ALL four inequalities in the form z<4 z<3 z< ? z< / 2. THEN match the inequalities with the 4 given answers to make sure ALL inequalities are satisfied. I am still waiting for the solution to the second inequality after I have done the first one. If you have problems solving inequalities, that's where you need to work on.

OpenStudy (faman39):

3z - 10 + 5z - 8 <6 3z + 5z + 10 - 8 <6 8z + 2<6

OpenStudy (faman39):

8z + 2 - 2 <6 8z <6

OpenStudy (faman39):

it will be a 0?

OpenStudy (faman39):

No

OpenStudy (faman39):

Please help!

OpenStudy (faman39):

I dont understand how to solve all this

OpenStudy (faman39):

@CalebBeavers help me please

OpenStudy (faman39):

@phi

OpenStudy (faman39):

Thank you so much for helping tolerating pain like me, i m sorry so for trouble. I really appreciate your help @mathmate, thanks alot! :)

OpenStudy (faman39):

This one @experimentX

OpenStudy (experimentx):

first of all simplify the left side. Can you simplify \[ -2(1+z) + 4z + 5\]

OpenStudy (faman39):

-2z + -2z + 4z +5 4z +4z +5 8z +5

OpenStudy (faman39):

isnt it?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

nope!!

OpenStudy (experimentx):

\[ -2(1+z) = (-2) \times 1 + (-2) \times z = ?\]

OpenStudy (faman39):

-2 +2z = -2 (-2) X z = -2 + 2z = -4 X z I m stuck :( sorry

OpenStudy (faman39):

-2

OpenStudy (experimentx):

\[ -2 \times z = ?\]

OpenStudy (faman39):

-2z

OpenStudy (experimentx):

-2 + (-2z)= ?

OpenStudy (faman39):

4z?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

no ... you cannot add like that.
