Question

Can anyone explain how to solve this?

Answer 1

heya RH

so your graph "B" refers to the 2nd equation ( (x+2)/6 < x-3 )

if you change the < to an =, you can work out the value of x where LHS = RHS occurs at x=4

so your equation is true for values of x of 4 or greater

whereas your graph "A" refers to the first equation ( 3x - 9 > (-3/2)x )

if you change the > to an =, you can work out the value of x where LHS = RHS occurs at x=2

so your equation is true for values of x of 2 or greater

...hope this helps

Answer 2

@Jack1 thanks a lot! So A is the correct answer then?

Answer 3

yeah im not 100% dude as A fits eqn 1 and B fits eqn 2, so ... can they both be right...?

Answer 4

I am not sure either :( I have to choose one though

Answer 5

in that case i'd go B as its true for both equations

Answer 6

ooo shiny, thanks1!

Answer 7

Thanks!

Answer 8

so was it A or B?

i kinda want to change my answer to A now as the questions says "OR":

3x - 9 > (-3/2)x OR (x+2)/6 < x-3

if it said AND, then the 2 would have to overlap, but OR means either, so you'd have a greater range with or.

Answer 9

So you think A would be the correct answer?

Answer 10

lock in A

Answer 11

Thanks :)!
