Question

Which are correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x)? Select two options. x < 5 –6x – 5 < 10 – x –6x + 15 < 10 – 5x A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right. A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at negative 5 and a bold line starts at negative 5 and is pointing to the left.

Answer 1

The correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x) are:

-6x + 15 < 10 – 5x, which can be simplified to x < 5

and

-6x – 5 < 10 – x, which can be simplified to -5x < 15, and then x > -3

Therefore, the correct options are:

x < 5

A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at negative 5 and a bold line starts at negative 5 and is pointing to the left.
