. Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality -x - 10 > 14 + 2x. (5 points) -x - 10 > 14 + 2x -3x -10 > 14 x < -8 -3x > 24 -3x < 4 -3x > -4 8 < x
-3x -10 > 14 if you rearrange this by adding 10 to both sides what do you get
24
what about the left hand side
-3x>24
now look at your answers given
thanks
glad to help
can you help me with another one? @amorfide
okay
Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 5(x + 2) 7x + 2(x - 1)? (5 points) A number line with a closed circle on 3 and shading to the right A number line with a closed circle on 3 and shading to the left 3 x x 3
i have a hard time with these
this is not an inequality as there is no > or < sign
"is not a way" this means which choice is false and as @amorfide said you are missing the symbol in the original
there is sorry it didnt show lol i will rewrite it
5(x + 2) greater than or equal to 7x + 2(x - 1)
okay so work it out for x first so you know what you are representing
multiply out of the brackets, and get an inequality similar to x>23 (this is just an example of a random inequality )
i dont understand sorry
5(x + 2) greater than or equal to 7x + 2(x - 1) 5x+10 greater than or equal to 7x+2x-2 \[5x-9x \ge -2 -10\] \[-4x \ge -12\] \[x \le 3\]
on a number line you would represent it with a filled in circle above the three (since it can be equal to 3) and then we want less than 3 also, so we shade in the part of the number line that is less than 3|dw:1429250275272:dw|
