Answer 3

Can you wa;l me through this

Answer 4

Answer 5

Alright! So are we solving for \(x\)?

Answer 6

Is the equation:
\[\frac{x+1}{x-5}\leq0\]

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

@Luigi0210 I need you D:

Answer 9

Something less than or equal to 0 implies a negative value.

a/b can be negative if and b are of opposite signs.
That is a < 0 AND b > 0 or
a > 0 AND b < 0

Answer 10

Let's wait and see what everyone else has to say first.

Answer 11

@ranga has it i think it looks good to me

Answer 12

The two sets of inequalities to solve are:
x + 1 > 0 AND x - 5 < 0 OR
x + 1 < 0 AND x - 5 > 0

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

x + 1 > 0 AND x - 5 < 0 gives -1 < x < 5
x + 1 < 0 AND x - 5 > 0 gives x < -1 AND x > 5 (not possible)

So the solution is -1 < x < 5

Since the inequality had <= sign I will say the solution is -1 <= x < 5

Answer 15

Ohh OK

Answer 16

would that be -1 less than or equal to x less than 5?

Answer 17

Yes.

Answer 18
