Question

Is the inequality always, sometimes, or never true?5x - 6<5(x - 5)Choose the correct answer below.Sometimes trueNever trueAlways true

Answer 1

In order to avaliate the inequatily, let's first expand the parenthesis in the right side:

`5x-6<5x-25`

We can subtract 5x from both sides of the inequality:

`-6<-25`

-6 is not lesser than -25, and any value of x we use will not change the final inequality, so this inequality is NEVER TRUE.
