Question

Solve for x.12x + 7 < -11 or 5x - 8 > 40

Answer 1

Given:

`\begin{gathered} 12x+7<-11 \\ \\ \text{ Or} \\ \\ 5x-8>40 \end{gathered}`

Find-:

To solve for "x"

Explanation-:

Solve for "x" is:

`\begin{gathered} 12x+7<-11 \\ \\ 12x<-11-7 \\ \\ 12x<-18 \\ \\ x<-(18)/(12) \\ \\ x<-(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The vale of "x" is:

`\begin{gathered} 5x-8>40 \\ \\ 5x>40+8 \\ \\ 5x>48 \\ \\ x>(48)/(5) \end{gathered}`

The final value of "x" is:

`\begin{gathered} x<-(3)/(2) \\ \\ \text{ Or} \\ \\ x>(48)/(5) \end{gathered}`
