Let's solve the inequalities and equations step by step.

  1. Solving the inequality 2x>8: 2x>8 Divide both sides by 2: x>4 So, the solution for this inequality is: x|x>4

  2. Solving the equation 5x+7=12: 5x+7=12 Subtract 7 from both sides: 5x=5 Divide both sides by -5 (and remember to reverse the inequality): x=1

Now we combine our solutions:

  • The solution for the inequality is x|x>4.
  • The solution for the equation is 1.

Now, let's compare this to the provided options:

  1. x|x>1
  2. 4
  3. x|x>4
  4. 1

The correct solution set based on the inequality 2x>8 is x|x>4.

Final Answer: x|x>4

The solution set is null.

{−1,3}

Let's solve the equations step by step.

  1. Solving the equation 3x+7=10: 3x+7=10 Subtract 7 from both sides: 3x=3 Divide both sides by -3: x=1

  2. Solving the equation 3x9=0: 3x9=0 Add 9 to both sides: 3x=9 Divide both sides by 3: x=3

Now we combine the solutions from both equations:

  • From 3x+7=10, we have x=1.
  • From 3x9=0, we have x=3.

So, the solution set is 1 and 3, which can be expressed as 1,3.

Now, let's compare this to the provided options:

  1. The solution set is null.
  2. 1,3
  3. 3
  4. 1

Final Answer: 1,3
