Question

Solve each of the given inequalities for z. Which of the inequalities has 5 as a solution?

Inequality 1 Inequality 2

(4(2.8z + 1.75) > - 26.6) (2(1.9z + 1.5) <= 18.2)

Answer 1

Answer: Inequality 1

Step-by-step explanation: Let's solve each inequality first.

4(2.8z+175 )>-26.6

let's distribute the 4.

4(2.8z)+4(175)

11.2z+700>-26.6

Now let's isolate the variable by subtracting 700 on each side.

11.2z>-726.6

Now let's divide both sides by 11.2

z>-64.875

Oh? This one already has 5 as a solution as 5 is more than -64.875!
