Question

What value of x is in the solution set of the inequality –5x – 15 > 10 + 20x?

–2
–1
0
1

Answer 1

To solve the inequality –5x – 15 > 10 + 20x, we first need to combine like terms:

-5x - 15 > 10 + 20x
-5x - 20x > 10 + 15
-25x > 25

Next, divide both sides by -25 to solve for x:

x < -1

So, the values of x in the solution set are -2 and -1.
