Example Question #51 : Equations / Inequalities

Solve for :

x+3>2x-9

Possible Answers:

x>6

x<6

x>12

None of the other answers

x<12

Correct answer:

x<12

Explanation:

To solve the inequality, simply move the 's to one side and the integers to the other (i.e. subtract from both sides and add 9 to both sides). This gives you x<12 .

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Solution To An Inequality With Addition

Solve for :

x+5>3x-3

Possible Answers:

x<4

x<1

x>4

x>1

x<2

Correct answer:

x<4

Explanation:

Subtracting and adding 3 to both sides of the equation of x+5>3x-3 will give you 8>2x . Divide both sides by 2 to get x<4 .

Example Question #52 : Equations / Inequalities

Which value of is in the solution set of the inequality 2x+2>-x+17 ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Add and subtract 2 from both sides of 2x+2>-x+17 to get 3x>15 . Then, divide both sides by 3 to get a solution of x>5 . The only answer choice that is greater than 5 is 6.

Example Question #52 : Equations / Inequalities

Find the solution set for :

$3.2 \geq -x + 0.6 > -5.1$

Possible Answers:

[2.6, 5.7)

(-5.7, 2.6]

[-5.7, -2.6)

(-5.7, -2.6]

[-2.6, 5.7)

Correct answer:

[-2.6, 5.7)

Explanation:

$3.2 \geq -x + 0.6 > -5.1$

$3.2- 0.6 \geq -x + 0.6 - 0.6 > -5.1 - 0.6$

$2.6 \geq -x > -5.7$

$2.6 \cdot (-1 )\leq -x \cdot (-1 )< -5.7 \cdot (-1 )$

Note the switch in inequality symbols when the numbers are multiplied by a negative number.

$-2.6 \leq x < 5.7$

or, in interval notation, [-2.6, 5.7)

Example Question #53 : Equations / Inequalities

Solve the inequality:

3+x-5<2

Possible Answers:

x<4

x<10

x<0

No solution

x<-6

Correct answer:

x<4

Explanation:

Combine like-terms on the left side of the inequality: x-2<2 . Next, isolate the variable: $x-2 \boldsymbol{+2} <2 \boldsymbol{+2}$ .

Therefore the answer is x<4 .

Example Question #54 : Equations / Inequalities

Solve:

$\small x+2\geq 7$

Possible Answers:

$\small x\geq 5$

$\small x> 5$

$\small x\leq 9$

None of the other answers are correct.

$\small x< 9$

Correct answer:

$\small x\geq 5$

Explanation:

Subtract 2 from each side:

$\small x+2-2\geq 7-2$

$\small x\geq 5$

Example Question #55 : Equations / Inequalities

Solve for :

2x-4 >7

Possible Answers:

x>5.5

x>22

x>11

x>3.5

x>1.5

Correct answer:

x>5.5

Explanation:

This inequality can be solved just like an equation.

Add 4 to both sides:

2x > 11

Then divide by 2:

x > 11/2 = 5.5

Example Question #56 : Equations / Inequalities

Solve the inequality:

$\small 15x - 4 \le 2x + 8 +x$

Possible Answers:

$\small x \le \frac{4}{5}$

$\small x \le \frac{6}{7}$

$\small x \le1$

$\small x \le 0$

$\small x \le \frac{11}{14}$

Correct answer:

$\small x \le1$

Explanation:

First, combine like terms on a single side of the inequality. On the right side of the inequality, combine the terms to obtain $\small 15x - 4 \le 3x +8$ .

Next, we want to get all the variables on the left side of the inequality and all of the constants on the right side of the inequality. Add 4 to both sides and subtract from both sides to get $\small 12x \le 12$ .

Finally, to isolate the variable, divide both sides by 12 to produce the final answer, $\small x \le1$ .

Example Question #57 : Equations / Inequalities

Solve: x-3<50

Possible Answers:

$x\leq 47$

x> 53

x<47

$x\leq 53$

x<53

Correct answer:

x<53

Explanation:

To solve x-3<50 , isolate the variable by adding three on both sides.

x-3+(3)<50+(3)

The correct answer is: x<53

Example Question #57 : Equations / Inequalities

Solve the following inequality:

4x-7<2x+3

Possible Answers:

x>2

x<5

$x\leq2$

x>5

x<7

Correct answer:

x<5

Explanation:

To solve the inequality, get all terms with on one side and all constants on the other side. We first subtract from both sides

2x-7<3 ,

Now add 7 to both sides

2x<10 .

Now divide both sides by 2

x<5
