Solutions of inequality practice test

1 answer

1. Solve the inequality: 2x + 5 < 11
Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x < 6
Divide by 2: x < 3
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 3.

2. Solve the inequality: -3x + 7 > 4
Subtract 7 from both sides: -3x > -3
Divide by -3 (remember to flip the inequality when dividing by a negative number): x < 1
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 1.

3. Solve the inequality: 4(2x - 3) > 16
Distribute and simplify: 8x - 12 > 16
Add 12 to both sides: 8x > 28
Divide by 8: x > 3.5
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 3.5.

4. Solve the inequality: 5x + 3 ≤ 18
Subtract 3 from both sides: 5x ≤ 15
Divide by 5: x ≤ 3
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 3.

5. Solve the inequality: 2(x + 4) > 10
Distribute and simplify: 2x + 8 > 10
Subtract 8 from both sides: 2x > 2
Divide by 2: x > 1
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 1.
