Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations,
in this inequality, start by isolating the x term which in this
case is -3x by subtracting 5 from both sides.
That leaves you with -3x < -24.
To get x by itself, divide both sides by -3 but watch out.
When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a
negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.
So we have x < 8 and put your final answer in
set notation and it look like this → {x: x < 8}.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let J and M represent the current ages of Jacob and his Mother.
<u>currently</u>:
M = 3 +9J
<u>in 11 years</u>:
M+11 = 5 +3(J+11)
Using the first equation to substitute for M in the second, we have ...
(3 +9J) +11 = 5 +3(J +11) . . . . . substitute for M
9J +14 = 3J +38 . . . . . . simplify
6J + 24 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3J+14
J = 4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
M = 3 +9(4) = 39
Jacob is 4 and his mother is 39.
