Question

12x + 7< -11
AND 5x -8 >=40
Solve for x please

Answer 1

First Inequality:
`x < -1.5`

Second Inequality:
`x \geq 9.6`

Explanation:

Step 1: Solve for x in the first inequality

`12x + 7 - 7 < -11 - 7`

`12x < -18`

`12x / 12 < -18 / 12`

`x < -1.5`

Answer:
`x < -1.5`

Step 2: Solve for x in the second inequality

`5x - 8 + 8 \geq 40 + 8`

`5x \geq 48`

`5x / 5 \geq 48 / 5`

`x \geq 9.6`

Answer:
`x \geq 9.6`
