Question

Solve for x: 5 − (x + 5) > −2(x + 4)

x > −8

x < −8

x > −18

x < −18

Answer 1

hi,
5 - (x + 5) > -2(x+4)
now... move the term "-(x + 5) " to the right hand side...
wt will ya get ?

Answer 2

hmmm...
5 - (x + 5) > - 2 (x+ 4)
5 > - 2 (x+ 4) + (x + 5)
now remove the brackets...
5 > -2x -8 + x +5
5 - 5 + 8 > x - 2x

now simplify the like terms lol >>>>

Answer 3

5-x-5>-2x-8
-x>-2x-8
now move -2x to the other side where -2x will become +2x
-x+2x>-8
x>-8
Hence shown

Answer 4

Solve for x: −3x + 3 < 6

x > −1

x < −3

x > −3

Answer 5

Answer 6

-3x + 3 < 6
-3x < 6 -3
-3x < 3
-x < 3/3
-x < 1
x > -1

hope this will help ya!!

I already got that one.
I have one more though !

Answer 8

Malcolm has $638.54 in his checking account. He must maintain a $500 balance to avoid a fee. He wrote a check for $159.50 today. Write and solve an inequality to solve for the least amount of money he needs to deposit to avoid a fee.

638.54 + 159.50 − x ≥ 500; x ≥ $298.04

638.54 + 159.50 − x ≥ 500; x ≥ $298.04

638.54 − 159.50 + x ≥ 500; x ≥ $20.96

638.54 − 159.50 + x ≤ 500; x ≤ $20.96

Answer 9

My answer was 638.54-159.50+x ≥ 500; x ≥ 20.96

Answer 10

Is that right, @***[ISURU]*** ?
