Responses

subtract 7 from the left side of the equation
subtract 7 from the left side of the equation

divide ax by a and 26 by a
divide ax by a and 26 by a

Combine ax - 7 to get -7x
Combine ax - 7 to get -7x

add 7 to both sides of the equation

The number of x's on both sides of the equation is different a≠b
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation, and the constant is different a=b, c1≠c2
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constant is also the same a=b, c1=c2

Solving the inequality for x, which statement shows a good first step and which is the correct solution?

x−6<x4
(2 points)
Responses

Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x


Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x

Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x


Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x

Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6


Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6

Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4




Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4

Step 1: Combine like terms
5x - 12 - 6x = -10x + 7 - 1

Step 2: Get x-terms on the same side of the equation
-12 = -10x + 7 - 1 + 6x

The number of x's on both sides of the equation is different a≠b - One solution

The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation, and the constant is different a=b, c1≠c2 - No solution

The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constant is also the same a=b, c1=c2 - Infinite solutions

The correct first step would be to add 6 to both sides of the inequality: x - 6 < x + 4.

The correct solution would be: x < 10.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The correct first step and correct solution are:

First Step: Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x - 24 < x

Correct Solution: x < 6

Therefore, the correct options would be:

First Step: Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x - 24 < x

Solution: x < 6

Option (a): Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x - 24 < x

Option (c): Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x/4 - 3/2 < x

Neither option (b) nor option (d) are correct.
