Question

9. Find the value of x in the

inequalities below. (Show your
work.)
A. 5 - 2x > 20
B. 7 +x over 3< -10 and B is a fraction so x is above 3

Answer 1

A. x < -7.5

B. x < -37

Explanation:

A. It is given that 5 - 2x > 20, we have to solve this inequality.

Now, 5 - 2x > 20

⇒5 - 20 > 2x

⇒ -15 > 2x

⇒ x < -7.5 (Answer)

B. Given that
`(7+x)/(3) < -10` and we have to solve this inequality for x.

⇒ 7 + x < -30

⇒ x < -37 (Answer)
