Mathematics

Furkat [3]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

-46 - 8x > 22: Original problem

-46 - 8x + 46 > 22 + 46: Bringing all the constants to one side of the inequality

-8x > 68: Simplification

x < 68/-8 : You have to flip the inequality symbol because you are dividing by                                

                  a negative number..

x< -8.5 : The answer!!!!!

Checking your answer....

-46 - 8x > 22 : Original problem

-46 - 8(-8.5) > 22 : Substitution

-46 + 68 > 22 : Simplification

22 > 22 : Answer check successful!!!

(22 is not greater than 22 but we know that the answer cannot be -8.5 because the inequality states that x is less -8.5. This process was only for the purpose of checking not for the purpose of proving)

Hope this helps!!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this is to know that the only time you'll change the direction of the sign is when you multiply or divide by a negative number.

-46 - 8x > 22

-8x > 22 + 46

-8x > 68

x < 68/-8        (we divided by -8 so the inequality changed direction)

x < -17/2

What is the solution to this inequality: -4(3x-5)&lt;2(3x+4)​
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x > 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(3x - 5) < 2(3x + 4)​

Divide both sides by 2.

-2(3x - 5) < 3x + 4

Distribute on the left side.

-6x + 10 < 3x + 4

Subtract 3x from both sides.

-9x + 10 < 4

Subtract 10 from both sides.

-9x < - 6

Divide both sides by -9. Remember that when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.

x > (-6)/(-9)

x > 6/9

x > 2/3
