Question

3. Solve the inequality –2(z + 5) + 20 > 6.

Answer 1

$\boxed{-2\left(z+5\right)+20>6\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:z$

Solution:

Given inequality is:

$-2(z+5)+20>6$

We have to solve the given inequality

$-2\left(z+5\right)+20>6\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}20\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\-2\left(z+5\right)+20-20>6-20\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\-2\left(z+5\right)>-14$

$Multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ -1\ \left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)$

Whenever we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, we must flip the inequality sign

$\left(-2\left(z+5\right)\right)\left(-1\right)$

Thus the solution to inequality is:

$-2\left(z+5\right)+20>6\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:z$
