Question

Which represents the solution set of 5 (x + 5) less-than 85 x less-than 12 x greater-than 12 x less-than 16 x greater-than 16

Answer 1

the answer on edg is A

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we must find the solution of the following inequality:

`5 (x + 5) <85`

Applying distributive property on the left side of inequality we have:

`5x + 25 <85`

Subtracting 25 from both sides of the inequality we have:

`5x <85-25\\5x <60`

Dividing between 5 on both sides of the inequality we have:

`x <\frac {60} {5}\\x <12`

Thus, the solution is given by all values of x less than 12.

Answer:

`x <12`
