a) ax+15=44

Question

Solution:

b) ax−44<15
Solution:

Answer 1

a) Start by subtracting 15 from both sides of the equation:

ax + 15 - 15 = 44 - 15

This simplifies to:

ax = 29

So the solution is ax = 29.

b) Start by adding 44 to both sides of the inequality:

ax - 44 + 44 < 15 + 44

This simplifies to:

ax < 59

So the solution is ax < 59.
