Question

Select all possible values for x if −3x < 15.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing or multiplying by a negative number, remember to flip the inequality sign.

-3x < 15

x > -5 (divide -3 on both sides, flip the inequality sign)

The correct options are 2 and 9. (D and E)

Answer 2

Answer:

D. 2

E. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 3x < 15 \\ \\ x > \frac{15}{ - 3} \\ \\ x > - 5$

Since x > - 5,

Therefore possible values of x would be 2 and 9 out of the given ones.
