Question

Solve 3(x-9) < 15A) x > 14B) x ≤ 14C) x = 14OD) x < 14

Answer 1

To solve the given inequality just as if you were solving an equation, by applying the opposite operations to both sides of the inequality sign:

`\begin{gathered} 3(x-9)<15 \\ (3(x-9))/(3)<(15)/(3) \\ x-9<5 \\ x-9+9<5+9 \\ x<14 \end{gathered}`

It means that the correct answer is D) x<14.
