Question

Which represents the solution set to the inequality 5.1(3 + 2.2x) > –14.25 – 6(1.7x + 4)? x < –2.5 x > 2.5 (–2.5, [infinity]) (–[infinity], 2.5)

Answer 1

(-2.5, infinity)

Explanation:

correct on EDG

Answer 2

x > -2.5 (-2.5, infinity)

Explanation:

Given the inequality expression

5.1(3 + 2.2x) > –14.25 – 6(1.7x + 4

Expand

15.3 + 11.22x > -14.25 - 10.2x - 24

15.3 + 11.22x > -38.25 - 10.2x

Collect the like erms

11.22x + 10.2x > -38.25 - 15.3

21.42x > -53.55

x > -53.55/21.42

x > -2.5 (-2.5, infinity)

This gives the required solution
