5(-3x-2)>-15

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, we will distribute the 5 to each term inside the parentheses:

5(-3x) + 5(-2) > -15

Simplifying further:

-15x - 10 > -15

To isolate the variable, we will move the constant term to the other side of the inequality sign:

-15x > -15 + 10

-15x > -5

Finally, we divide both sides by -15. Since we are dividing by a negative number, we need to reverse the inequality sign:

x < (-5) / (-15)

Simplifying:

x < 1/3

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x is less than 1/3.

Answer 2

can you make it not a fraction

Answer 3

To make the solution not a fraction, we can express it as a decimal. To do that, we can rewrite 1/3 as 0.333...

So, the solution to the inequality x < 1/3 can be rewritten as x < 0.333...

Answer 4

should the point be open or closed

Answer 5

The point should be left open in the inequality x < 0.333..., indicating that x can be any value less than 0.333..., but not equal to it.

Answer 6

where is the shading
left or right

Answer 7

To determine the shading on the number line, we need to identify whether the inequality is less than or greater than. In this case, the inequality is x < 0.333....

Since we want values of x that are less than 0.333..., the shading on the number line would be to the left of 0.333....
