Question

Solve inequalities.

Answer 1

Answer:

10. 7n - 1 < -8

Isolate the variable, n. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Treat the < as equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, add 1 to both sides:

7n - 1 (+1) < - 8 (+1)

7n < - 8 + 1

7n < - 7

Isolate the variable, n. Divide 7 from both sides:

(7n)/7 < (-7)/7

n < -7/7

n < -1

n < -1 is your answer.

11. 3 > -7v + 4v

Combine like terms, then isolate the variable, v. First, add -7v and 4v together.

3 > (-7v + 4v)

3 > (4v - 7v)

3 > (-3v)

Isolate the variable, v. Divide -3 from both sides. Note that since you are dividing a negative number, you must flip the sign:

(3)/-3 > (-3v)/-3

3/-3 > v

-1 < v

v > -1 is your answer.
