Question

show all the steps to solve ax-9>39

Answer 1

what would step 2 be in a fraction

Answer 2

To solve the inequality ax - 9 > 39, follow these steps:

1. Add 9 to both sides of the inequality: ax - 9 + 9 > 39 + 9
This simplifies to ax > 48

2. Divide both sides by a (assuming a is a positive number): (ax)/a > 48/a
This simplifies to x > 48/a

3. So, the solution to the inequality ax - 9 > 39 is x > 48/a.

Answer 3

If step 2 involves dividing by a fraction, the process is a bit different. Here's what step 2 would look like:

2. Divide by a:

$${(ax)}/{a} > {48}/{a}$$

When you divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal:

$${x} > {48}*{1}/{a}$$

This simplifies to:

$$x > {48}/{a}$$

So, the solution to the inequality ax - 9 > 39 would be x > 48/a.
