Question

Which number line represents the solution set for the inequality 3(8 – 4x) < 6(x – 5)?

Answer 1

The solution to the inequality is x > 3

The number line that represent the solution set will be:

A number line from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 3 and a bold line starts at 3 and is pointing to the right. The correct option is the second option

Linear Inequalities

From the question, we are to determine the number line that represents the solution set for the given inequality

The given inequality is

3(8 – 4x) < 6(x – 5)

First, we will solve the inequality

3(8 – 4x) < 6(x – 5)

Clear the brackets

24 - 12x < 6x - 30

Collect like terms

24 + 30 < 6x + 12x

54 < 18x

Divide both sides by 18

3 < x

∴ x > 3

Hence, the number line that represent the solution set will be:

A number line from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 3 and a bold line starts at 3 and is pointing to the right. The correct option is the second option
