Answer 1

Answer:

A. the first one is true because when x = 5, 4x - 1 equals 19. The second inequality doesn't allow for it to equal 19.

B. 9 is the value that makes the equation true. See below for work to show.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -1 </= 19 is true because it's "less than or equal to" and when you change the x to 5, the answer is exactly 19.  4(5) - 1 = 19. The other sentence is "4x - 1 is less than 19", and that means it can't equal 19 for that sentence to be true.

Math + words = confusion sometimes. Does that make sense?

------------------------------------

Now let's solve

5x + 2 = 47

Subtract 2 from both sides

5x = 45

divide both sides by 5

x = 9
