Answer:
Explanation:
Follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo what's happening to x.
We first add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5 to fully isolate x.
Refer to the steps below to see what I mean.
The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. The only time it flips is when you divide both sides by a negative number.
The solution set for x is anything -3 or larger.
If x was an integer, then we could say the solution set is {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}
x/240 = 82/100
240 : 100 = 2.4
so 240 is divided with 2,4 giving 100, this will work with 82 too. So, 82 × 2.4 = 196,8
Answer : x = 196,8
prove :
196,8/240 = 82/100 = 41/50
