Question

Which of the following is the solution to the compound inequality below? 3x+5 2 -1 or -2x - 725

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -674

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x and check: x + 5 = 3

Solution

Solve for x and check: - 3x = 12

Dividing each side by -3, we obtain

Another way of solving the equation

3x - 4 = 7x + 8

would be to first subtract 3x from both sides obtaining

-4 = 4x + 8,

then subtract 8 from both sides and get

-12 = 4x.

Now divide both sides by 4 obtaining

- 3 = x or x = - 3  

Solve for c: 3(x + c) - 4y = 2x - 5c

First remove parentheses.

Remember, abx is the same as 1abx.

We divide by the coefficient of x, which in this case is ab.
