Question

Solve for x and graph the solution on the number line
15 > 2x – 9 > -23

Answer 1

The answer is 12>x>-7

Explanation:

it's first divided into 2 parts

1 . 15 > 2x - 9

2. 2x - 9 > -23

Then solve them individually.

let's do it,

First half

15 > 2x - 9

15+9 > 2x

24 > 2x

24/2 > x

12>x

Second half

2x-9>-23

2x>-23+9

2x>-14

x>-14/2

x>-7

Joining of the two halves

We have :

12>x>-7
