Question

The sum of 3x and 1 is greater than-5 and less than or equal to 10

Answer 1

x is greater than -2 and less than or equal to 3

Explanation:

so the 3x + 1 is greater than -5

so 3x is greater than -6

we divide both sides by 3

then we find out that x is greater than -2

we also know that 3x + 1 is less than or equal to 10

so 3x is less than or equal to 9

we divide both sides by 3

then we find out that x is less or equal to 3

so we can say that x is greater than -2 and less than or equal to 3
