Example Questions

Example Question #2111 : Algebra Ii

Solve for x:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Solve the way you would solve an equation. First add 7 to both sides 

now divide both sides by 2 

Example Question #36 : Solving Inequalities

Solve for x:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the variable:

Next divide both sides by -2. Flip the inequality when dividing or multiplying by a negative number.

Example Question #32 : Solving Inequalities

Solve the following inequality:

Possible Answers:

No solution

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To simply this you must get the x-variable by itself. The first step is to bring the 10 to the other side by subtraction.

So:

The next step is to divide by negative one, the important part of this is to flip the sign from ">" to "<"

So:

Example Question #2112 : Algebra Ii

Solve the following inequality:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

This is a two-step inequality where you need to isolate "y." To do this you must first subtract 2 from both sides and then divide by negative one.

Upon doing this you get:

The sign needs to be flipped because you are dividing by a negative number.

Example Question #2113 : Algebra Ii

Solve for x:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve the inequality, we must first multiply both sides of the inequality by -3. Doing this flips both of the inequalities because we are multiplying by a negative number:

Now, subtract 5 from both sides:

Note that rewriting it in this way is a little more clear than simply subtracting 5 from both sides and not changing anything!

Example Question #2114 : Algebra Ii

Solve:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve, we must first multiply each side by -1. Multiplying (or dividing) by the negative flips the inequality sign:

Now, we isolate x by multiplying by 5 and adding 1 to both sides:

Example Question #2115 : Algebra Ii

Solve the inequality:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Add nine on both sides.

Simplify both sides.

Divide by two on both sides.

It is not necessary to change the sign.

The answer is:  

Example Question #2116 : Algebra Ii

Solve the inequality:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.

Simplify both sides.

Divide both sides by negative three.  Since we are dividing by a negative number, we will need to switch the direction of the sign.

The answer is:  

Example Question #2117 : Algebra Ii

Solve the inequality:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Add three on both sides.

Simplify both sides.

Divide by negative eight on both sides.  Since we are dividing by a negative sign, the inequality sign will switch directions.

Reduce both fractions.

The answer is:  

Example Question #2118 : Algebra Ii

Solve:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to isolate the x-variable, first subtract five from both sides.

Simplify both sides.

Divide by negative six on both sides.  Remember to switch the sign since we are dividing by a negative number.

The answer is:
