Question

Solve for x in 5x−19≤1 OR −4x+3<−6

Answer 1

I had x to be 4 or 9/4 that is my solution

Answer 2

x ≤ 4 OR x < 2.25

Explanation:

a. Given 5x − 19 ≤ 1

5x ≤ 1 + 19

5x ≤ 20

Now, make x the subject of the formula, we have:

x ≤ 20/5

x ≤ 4

Therefore, given 5x − 19 ≤ 1, the solution is x ≤ 4

OR

b. Given − 4x + 3 < − 6

− 4x < − 6 − 3

− 4x < − 9

Now, make x the subject of the formula, we have:

x < −9/−4

x < 2.25

Therefore, given − 4x + 3 < − 6, the solution is x < 2.25.

Conclusion:

The solution to solve for x in 5x−19≤1 OR −4x+3<−6 is x ≤ 4 OR x < 2.25
