Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Solving Inequalities

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Subtract 9 from both sides of the inequality.

Because the variable, in this case  is to the right of the inequality sign, you switch the inequality sign to its opposite.  The  becomes a  so that the variable is to the left of the inequality sign.

 

Example Question #1 : Solving Inequalities

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Subtract  from both sides of the inequality.

Example Question #11 : Solving Inequalities

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Add 4 to both sides of the inequality.

Because the variable  is to the right of the inequality, it needs to be placed to the left of the inequality. When this happens, the inequality sign needs to be switched to its opposite.

 

Example Question #12 : Solving Inequalities

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality.

Add  to both sides of the inequality.

 

Divide both sides by .

Example Question #31 : Classifying Algebraic Functions

Example Question #32 : Classifying Algebraic Functions

  Find the solution set.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Example Question #33 : Algebra

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Begin by simplifying the inequality by using the distributive property.

Add  to both sides.

Subtract  from both sides.

Because there is a negative variable, multiply both sides by  and switch the inequality sign to its opposite.

Example Question #33 : Classifying Algebraic Functions

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Add 6 to both sides of the inequality.

Example Question #11 : Inequalities

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To isolate the variable, add  to both sides of the inequality.

Divide both sides by  Because you are dividing by a negative integer, you have to flip or switch the inequality sign to its opposite.

Example Question #34 : Classifying Algebraic Functions

Solve.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To isolate the variable , subtract  from both sides of the inequality.
