Question

5x + 3 ≤ -17? 14x + 20 ≤ 13? whats the answer for these?

Answer 1

Hello there!

Our goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality, and then solve for it.

1.) 5x + 3  -17
Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable.

5x  -20
Divide 5 from both sides to solve for the variable.

x  -4 is your first inequality solution for the first inequality.

2.) 14x + 20  13
Subtract 20 from both sides to isolate the variable.

14x  -7
Divide both sides by 14 to solve for the variable.

x _< 1/2 is your solution for the second inequality.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:4x-17+15x/9x-13-14x=7/6

19-17/-5x-13=7/6

By cross multiplication

6(19x-17)=7(-5x-13)

144x-102=-35x-91

114x+35x=91+102

149x=11

x=11/149
