Question

Find the solution set of each inequality below, and then determine which inequalities have the same

solution set as -(-8x – 3) < 23. Select all that apply.

A
1
(8x + 3) < -23
B
(10x =
- 20) >-44
1
(8x + 3) >-23
(10
(10x +20) >44
E
(8x + 3) < 23
F-crx
(10x +20) < -44
+

Answer 1

Choice E.

Explanation:

-(-8x – 3) < 23

-8x - 3 > -23

-8x > -20

x < 20/8

x < 2.5.

E:-

(8x + 3) < 23

8x < 20

x < 2.5.

Answer 2

(8x+3)<23 is the same as -(-8x-3)<23

Explanation:

-(-8x-3)<23 Original equation

(8x+3)<23 [Remove the parentheses]

It is the same equation as the chosen answer: (8x+3)<23
