Which of the following inequalities have -8 in its solution set? A. 0 < x+4 < 1 B. Three less than a number is at least -5 and at most 2. C. The sum of 8 times a number and 7 is between -1 and 1. D. 3x ≥ 24 or 3x ≤ -24
@Vocaloid
notice how some of them are written as words and some are written as mathematical variables/numbers. to make it easier, express them all as math for example: Three less than a number is at least -5 and at most 2. "three less than a number" is x - 3 at least -5 and at most 2 translates to -5 <= x -3 <= 2 repeat this process with "The sum of 8 times a number and 7 is between -1 and 1."
the answer is D am i correct ?
yeah that's right
i calculated it
that's right ?
The following graph represents an inequality. https://d3upxwx9bggvi1.cloudfront.net/img/questions/arei3_1_201.png Which inequality is represented by this graph? A. -3 ≤ x ≤ 3 B. -3 ≤ x < 3 C. -3 < x ≤ 3 D. -3 < x < 3
notice how both of the red dots at the end are closed circles (they're filled in red instead of being empty) that means both the -3 and the 3 need ≤ symbols which answer choice matches this description?
C
am i correct ?
nope which answer choice has two ≤ symbols?
A
good, A
Which of the following inequalities have -6 in its solution set? A. 5x > 35 or 5x < −35 B. Two less than a number tripled is at least -5 and at most 1. C. The sum of 3 times a number and 5 is between -16 and 11. D. -8 < x−5 < 3
again, translate the words to variables/math and see which one is true for x = -6
it's either B or C
the answer is B
"The sum of 3 times a number and 5 is between -16 and 11." how would you express this as a mathematical expression?
3x + 5 < -16 + 11
almost "between -16 and 11" means -16 < ___ <11 so -16 < 3x + 5 < 11 does x = -6 make this inequality true?
yes
good, so C is your answer
