The correct simplified inequality is - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x and the number line representation is "an open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right".

The given inequality is -3(2x - 5) < 5(2 - x)

We need to simplify the inequality.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

In mathematics, inequality is a statement of an order relationship greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

Consider LHS and simplify -3(2x - 5) = -3(2x)-5(-3)

⇒ -3(2x - 5) = - 6x + 15 [∵(-)(-) = (+)]

Consider RHS and simplify 5(2 - x) = 5(2) + 5(-x)

⇒5(2 - x) = 10 - 5x [∵(+)(-) = (-)]

Now, - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

By subtracting 15 from both sides, we get

- 6x < -5 - 5x

By adding 5x to both sides, we get - x < - 5

The coefficient of x is -1. So, divide both sides by -1

Then we get x > 5

Hence, the correct simplified inequality is - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x and the number line representation is "an open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right".

(3x-5)/(x-5)&gt;=0 <br> How do I get the answers for this problem?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
\frac{3x-5}{x-5} > 0 

First, note that x is undefined at 5. / x ≠ 5
Second, replace the inequality sign with an equal sign so that we can solve it like a normal equation. / Your problem should look like: \frac{3x-5}{x-5} = 0
Third, multiply both sides by x - 5. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 5 = 0
Forth, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 5
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x = \frac{5}{3}
Sixth, from the values of x above, we have these 3 intervals to test: 
x < \frac{5}{3}
\frac{5}{3} < x < 5
x > 5
Seventh, pick a test point for each interval. 

1. For the interval x < \frac{5}{3} :
Let's pick x - 0. Then, \frac{3x0-5}{0-5} > 0
After simplifying, we get 1 > 0 which is true.
Keep this interval.

2. For the interval \frac{5}{3} < x < 5:
Let's pick x = 2. Then, \frac{3x2-5}{2-5} > 0
After simplifying, we get -0.3333 > 0, which is false.
Drop this interval.

3. For the interval x > 5:
Let's pick x = 6. Then, \frac{3x6-5}{6-5} > 0
After simplifying, we get 13 > 0, which is ture.
Keep this interval.
Eighth, therefore, x < \frac{5}{3} and x > 5

Answer: x < \frac{5}{3} and x > 5
