Question

Can someone please explain how to do number 9.

Answer 1

Answer:

x<15, probably

Step-by-step explanation:

maybe multiply 2 to each side to eliminate the fraction. so 3x+15<60. subtract 15 to isolate the variable term so 3x<45. divide by 3 to isolate x so x<15. check the work. is the inequality true for all values of x less than 15? let's try the first possible integer value, 14, to be sure. 3(14)+15= 57. so 57/2<30. now 57/2 is 28.5 and 28.5<30 so it seems right
