Question

Part A: Solve –vp + 40 < 95 for v. Show your work. (4 points) Part B: Solve 8w – 3r = 45 for r. Show your work. (6 points)

Answer 1

Subtract 40 from both sides
-vp+40-40<95-40

Simplify
-vp<55
Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)

(-vp) (-1) > 55 (-1)

Simplify
vp> -55

Divide both sides by v

vp ÷ v > -55 ÷ v

Simplify
p> -55 ÷ v

Answer 2

Part A:

-vp + 40 < 95

-40 -40

-vp < 55

-vp/p < 55/p

-v < 55/p

-v > 55/p
