Question

HURRY !!

Marquis used the steps below to find the solution to the inequality -5.6 _> x+ 3.6

*check picture*

Which describes the first step in which marquis made an error ?

A. in step 1, marquis should have added 3.6 to each side of the inequality

B. In step 2, marquis should have interpreted the results as x _< - 9.2, which means that x is less than or equal to -9.2

C. marquis should have used an open circle at -9.2 in step 3

D. marquis should have shaded the number line to the right of -9.2 in step 3

Answer 1

B IS THE ANSWER

Explanation:

In Step 2, Marquis should have interpreted the results as x less-than-or-equal-to negative 9.2, which means that x is less than or equal to –9.2 .

Answer 2

B. In step 2, marquis should have interpreted the results as x _< - 9.2, which means that x is less than or equal to -9.2

Explanation:

Step 1 is correct.

Step 2.

-9.2 >= x

Subtract x from both sides.

-x - 9.2 >= 0

Add 9.2 to both sides.

-x >= 9.2

Divide both sides by -1. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality, the inequality sign changes direction.

x <= -9.2

The first error is in Step 2.

Answer:

B. In step 2, marquis should have interpreted the results as x _< - 9.2, which means that x is less than or equal to -9.2
