Question

ax - 44 <15
responses
x=59a
x=59/8
x=29a
x59/a
x<29a

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( ax - 44 < 15 \), we first isolate \( ax \):

1. Add 44 to both sides:
\[
ax < 15 + 44
\]
\[
ax < 59
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by \( a \) (assuming \( a \neq 0 \)):
\[
x < \frac{59}{a}
\]

So the solution is:
\[
x < \frac{59}{a}
\]

Looking at the provided responses, the correct response that aligns with the solution is:
- \( x < 59/a \)

This indicates that \( x \) must be less than \( 59/a \).
