5 )
12 x - 3 x + 11 < 4 x - ( 17 - 9 x )
12 x - 3 x + 11 < 4 x - 17 + 9 x
9 x + 11 < 13 x - 17 Subtract 11 to both sides
9 x + 11 - 11 < 13 x - 17 - 11
9 x < 13 x - 28 Subtract 13 x to both sides
9 x - 13 x < 13 x - 28 - 13 x
- 4 x < - 28 Divide both sides by - 4
________________________________________
Remark :
When you multiply or divide left and right sides of inequality WITH NEGATIVE NUMBER , you MUST CHANGE the direction of the inequality.
________________________________________
- 4 x / -4 > - 28 / - 4
x > 7
6 )
6 abs ( x ) + 22 = 4 Subtract 22 to both sides
6 abs ( x ) + 22 - 22 = 4 - 22
6 abs ( x ) = - 18 Divide both sides by 6
6 abs ( x ) / 6 = - 18 / 6
abs ( x ) = - 3
That is not correct becouse the absolute value of a number is always positive.
That's why your equation has no solution.
5) give one solution to the inequality
12x-3x+11<4x-(17-9x).
6) explain why the equation 6|x|+22=4 has no solution.
isn't it because the x can't be there by itself. or because x and y-value both make the equation true
