On a number line you have a solid dot on 5 then moves back to -10 which of these problems would did you solve

2/4x -4/5 >= 1 1/5
3/5x + 2/5>= 3 2/5
3/7x + 1/7 <= 1 6/7
1/5x - 3/5 <=2/5

To determine which inequalities are solved based on the movement from 5 to -10 on a number line, we need to analyze each inequality you provided. We'll solve each one for \( x \) and determine if the solution includes the range from 5 down to -10.

  1. Inequality: \( \frac{2}{4}x - \frac{4}{5} \geq 1 \frac{1}{5} \)

    Simplifying the inequality: \[ \frac{1}{2}x - \frac{4}{5} \geq \frac{6}{5} \]

    Adding \(\frac{4}{5}\) to both sides: \[ \frac{1}{2}x \geq \frac{6}{5} + \frac{4}{5} \] \[ \frac{1}{2}x \geq \frac{10}{5} \] \[ \frac{1}{2}x \geq 2 \]

    Multiplying both sides by 2: \[ x \geq 4 \] Solution Range: \( x \geq 4 \)

  2. Inequality: \( \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{2}{5} \geq 3 \frac{2}{5} \)

    Simplifying the inequality: \[ \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{2}{5} \geq \frac{17}{5} \]

    Subtracting \(\frac{2}{5}\) from both sides: \[ \frac{3}{5}x \geq \frac{17}{5} - \frac{2}{5} \] \[ \frac{3}{5}x \geq \frac{15}{5} \] \[ \frac{3}{5}x \geq 3 \]

    Multiplying both sides by \(\frac{5}{3}\): \[ x \geq 5 \] Solution Range: \( x \geq 5 \)

  3. Inequality: \( \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{1}{7} \leq 1 \frac{6}{7} \)

    Simplifying the inequality: \[ \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{1}{7} \leq \frac{13}{7} \]

    Subtracting \(\frac{1}{7}\) from both sides: \[ \frac{3}{7}x \leq \frac{13}{7} - \frac{1}{7} \] \[ \frac{3}{7}x \leq \frac{12}{7} \]

    Multiplying both sides by \(\frac{7}{3}\): \[ x \leq 4 \] Solution Range: \( x \leq 4 \)

  4. Inequality: \( \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{3}{5} \leq \frac{2}{5} \)

    Simplifying the inequality: \[ \frac{1}{5}x \leq \frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{5} \] \[ \frac{1}{5}x \leq 1 \]

    Multiplying both sides by 5: \[ x \leq 5 \] Solution Range: \( x \leq 5 \)

Summary of Results:

  • Inequality 1: \( x \geq 4 \)
  • Inequality 2: \( x \geq 5 \)
  • Inequality 3: \( x \leq 4 \) (Fits the move from 5 to -10)
  • Inequality 4: \( x \leq 5 \)

Given the original movement from 5 to -10, the inequality satisfied during that movement would be Inequality 3, which has the solution range \( x \leq 4 \). This means, indeed, you could have solved that inequality during the transition.

Since the line has a solid dot on the 5 does not the 5 have to be included

Yes, you are correct. When there is a solid dot at 5 on a number line, it indicates that 5 is included in the solution set.

Let's reassess the inequalities that include 5 based on your condition that you moved from 5 to -10:

  1. Inequality: \( \frac{2}{4}x - \frac{4}{5} \geq 1 \frac{1}{5} \)

    • Solution: \( x \geq 4 \) (5 is included)
  2. Inequality: \( \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{2}{5} \geq 3 \frac{2}{5} \)

    • Solution: \( x \geq 5 \) (5 is included)
  3. Inequality: \( \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{1}{7} \leq 1 \frac{6}{7} \)

    • Solution: \( x \leq 4 \) (5 is not included)
  4. Inequality: \( \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{3}{5} \leq \frac{2}{5} \)

    • Solution: \( x \leq 5 \) (5 is included)

Summary with Respect to Inclusion of 5:

  • Inequality 1: \( x \geq 4 \) (5 is included)
  • Inequality 2: \( x \geq 5 \) (5 is included)
  • Inequality 3: \( x \leq 4 \) (5 is not included)
  • Inequality 4: \( x \leq 5 \) (5 is included)

Final Determination:

The inequalities that include 5 as part of their solution set are:

  • Inequality 1: \( x \geq 4 \)
  • Inequality 2: \( x \geq 5 \)
  • Inequality 4: \( x \leq 5 \)

Since you started at 5 (inclusive) and moved to -10, the inequalities where \( x \) includes 5 are Inequality 1, Inequality 2, and Inequality 4.

Thank you for pointing this out!
