Question

Part A: Solve –vp + 30 < 45 for p. Show your work. (4 points)

Part B: Solve 3w – 6r = 30 for r. Show your work.

Answer 1

-vp+30<45 subtract 30 from both sides

-vp<15 divide both sides by -v (remember to reverse inequality sign whenever you multiply/divide by a negative value!)

p>-15/v

...

3w-6r=30 divide both sides by 3

w-2r=10 subtract w from both sides

-2r=10-w divide both sides by -2

r=(w-10)/2

Answer 2

–vp + 30 < 45
–vp < 15
p > -15/v

------------------
3w – 6r = 30
-6r = 30 - 3w
r = -5 + w/2
