Question

If m<2 = 3x -9 and m<1=x+25 write an equation to find x. then find m<2.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find x, we can use the equation for m<2: 3x - 9 = 3x + 25

Subtracting 3x from both sides gives -9 = 25 + 9

Subtracting 9 from both sides gives -18 = 16

Adding 18 to both sides gives 0 = 34, which is a contradiction, so there is no solution for x.

Since there is no solution for x, we cannot find m<2.
