Question

Which inequality represents the solutions to a over five + 3 < 5?

a < 10

a > 10

a < 40

a > 40

Answer 1

\[\frac{a}{5} + 3 < 5\]You need to isolate \(a\), so subtract 3 from both sides, then multiply both sides by 5 to eliminate the fraction and leave you with \(a\) on the left. What do you get?

Answer 2

a<10
a>10
a<40
a>40

Answer 3

one of these is the answer

Answer 4

The one that you get if you do the steps I gave you.

Answer 5

The answer will depend on if the inequality is

\[\Large \frac{a}{5} + 3 < 5\]

OR if it's

\[\Large \frac{a}{5+3} < 5\]

Most likely it is probably the first one (since the 5+3 can easily be replaced with 8), but it's possible that they actually wrote "5+3" instead of "8"

Answer 6

I took it as the first one because she wrote "a over five" as words, then "+3"

Answer 7

is someone gives me the answer then i will give them a medal

Answer 8

we've got thousands of medals. How about you work out the answer from what we told you?

Answer 9

I'll give you a medal if you do.

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

a<10

Answer 12

i dont know

Answer 13

Assuming the inequality is

\[\Large \frac{a}{5} + 3 < 5\]

we must subtract 3 from both sides. Afterward, we multiply both sides by 5 to completely isolate 'a'

\[\Large \frac{a}{5} + 3 < 5\]

\[\Large \frac{a}{5} < 5-3\]

\[\Large \frac{a}{5} < 2\]

\[\Large a < 2*5\]

\[\Large a < 10\]

So you are correct.

Answer 14

Solving inequalities is just like solving equations

Answer 15

yes you get a medal

Answer 16

The only difference is that the inequality sign will flip when multiplying/dividing both sides by a negative number

Answer 17

thank you so much *hug*
