Question

3. Which of the following represent the solution set of 5x – 2

Answer 1

First, let us find the solution to the inequality

`(1)/(3)x-2<-4`

by adding 2 to both sides we get

`(1)/(3)x<-2`

multiplying both sides by 3 gives

`x<-6`

Hence, the solution is x less than -6, meaning all values below -6 are the solutions; therefore the right choice is D.
