Question

Which are correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x)? Select two options.

Answer 1

There are different ways to represent an inequality, but two correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x) are:

-6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

-6x + 15 + 5x < 10

-x < -5

and

2x - 5 < -5 + 2x

0 < -5x

x > 0

Both options are correct as each of them represents a different way to simplify the inequality but still holds the same meaning.
