Question

Hint: You won't flip the sign in every problem. ONLY FUP it when you or by a 9 - 2x < 6x - 15 Solutions You solve and graph these: 3 - 8x -29 Solutions 1x + 2x -7 «6 Solutions 3X-P66 x=4 x=2 free T XCH​

Answer 1

You only flip the inequality sign when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.

================================================

Problem 1

$3 - 8x \ge -29\\\\-8x \ge -29-3\\\\-8x \ge -32\\\\x \le \frac{-32}{-8} \ \text{ inequality sign flip}\\\\x \le 4$

The inequality sign flip happens because we divided both sides by -8.

The graph will have a closed circle at 4 with shading to the left.

Three solutions are x = 0, x = 1, x = 2. You can pick any three numbers you want as long as they are 4 or smaller.

================================================

Problem 2

$1x+2x-7 < 6\\\\3x-7 < 6\\\\3x < 6+7\\\\3x < 13\\\\x < \frac{13}{3}\\\\x < 4 \frac{1}{3}$

The graph will have an open circle at 13/3 = 4&1/3 = 4.333 approx. The shading is to the left. No inequality sign flip happens because we divided both sides by a positive number.

Your choice of three solutions is correct. You can pick anything smaller than 4.3333

================================================

Problem 3

$9-2x \le 6x-15\\\\-2x-6x \le -15-9\\\\-8x \le -24\\\\x \ge \frac{-24}{-8} \ \text{ inequality sign flip}\\\\x \ge 3$

The solution set is any value 3 or larger. Three solutions are x = 5, x = 6 and x = 7.

The graph has a closed circle at 3 on the number line. The shading is to the right.
