Question

Which of the following is the solution set to the inequality −25x+14>20? Select one: A. x < -64 B. x > -64 C. x < -15 D. x > -15

Answer 1

x< -0.24

Explanation:

So this is going to sound stupid, but I got x< -0.24 which is just not an option, but this is how I got it...

-25x+14>20

subtract 14 from each side

-25x>6

divide each side by -25

x< -0.24

I switch the way the sign was facing bc I divided by a negative.

Now I know that this must be wrong, but it makes the most sense because I am pretty sure I did all of the math right. Sorry this probably didnt help , but I did a lot of work to try and get the right answer, so Im not putting that work to waste
