Question

I need an answer for both of these

Answer 1

1. x < -2

2. x < -9

3. x < 15

Explanation:

Treat the < and > symbols as an equals sign to make it less confusing to solve. Then solve for x like you normally would.

1. x+ 15 = 13

subtract 15 from both sides

x=-2, or x < -2

2. x + 11 = 2

Subtract 11 from both sides.

x=-9, or x <-9

3. 19 > x + 4

19 = x + 4

Subtract 4.

15 > x, or x < 15

Answer 2

1. x < -2

2. x < -9

Explanation:

1. x + 15 < 13

Minus 15 on both sides.

x + 15 - 15 < 13 - 15

+15 - 15 makes a 0.

x < -2

2. x + 11 < 2

Minus 11 on both sides.

x + 11 - 11 < 2 - 11

+11 - 11 makes a 0.

x < -9
