Question

Name a value for x that will complete the inequality that is shown. Then, explain why the value makes the inequality true.

Answer 1

Answer:    0.157

========================================================

Explanation:

Convert the fraction 9/50 to decimal form. You can use either long division or a calculator.

You should find that 9/50 = 0.18 which is the same as 0.180

So the original compound inequality is the same as saying 0.125 < x < 0.180

This tells us that x is between 0.125 and 0.180 where x is not equal to either endpoint. We simply need to pick anything in this interval. It can be anything you want (I recommend to use a number line to help pick a value). One such value is 0.157. There are infinitely many values you can select from.

The number 0.157 is between 0.125 and 0.180, ie  0.125 < 0.157 < 0.180

It's very similar to saying 157 is between 125 and 180, ie 125 < 157 < 180.

Answer 2

Answer:

To solve your inequality using the Inequality Calculator, type in your inequality like x+7>9. The inequality solver will then show you the steps to help you learn how to solve it on your own. Less Than Or Equal To. Type = for "less than or equal to". Here is an example:
