To solve the equations and inequalities provided, we can start with the equation and then proceed to the inequality.
-
Equation: \( ax + 15 = 44 \)
To isolate \( ax \), we can subtract 15 from both sides:
\[ ax = 44 - 15 \]
\[ ax = 29 \]
-
Inequality: \( ax - 44 < 15 \)
To isolate \( ax \) in the inequality, we can first add 44 to both sides:
\[ ax < 15 + 44 \]
\[ ax < 59 \]
Now we have:
- From the equation: \( ax = 29 \)
- From the inequality: \( ax < 59 \)
Since \( 29 < 59 \), the value obtained from the equation satisfies the inequality as well.
Final Responses:
- For the equation: \( ax = 29 \)
- For the inequality: \( ax < 59 \)
