x

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 7.82x + 1.83 < 15.42, we can isolate the variable x by performing the following steps:

1. Subtract 1.83 from both sides of the inequality:

7.82x + 1.83 - 1.83 < 15.42 - 1.83

7.82x < 13.59

2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 7.82 to solve for x:

(7.82x)/7.82 < 13.59/7.82

x < 1.7381

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the solution for x is x < 1.74.
