11 answers

To solve the inequality \( 8x + 4 \geq 52 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ 8x \geq 52 - 4 \] \[ 8x \geq 48 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 8: \[ x \geq \frac{48}{8} \] \[ x \geq 6 \]

So, the solution to the inequality is \( x \geq 6 \).

Among your options:

  • \( x \geq 6 \) is correct.
  • \( x \geq 2.5 \) is true but not the most restrictive.
  • \( x \geq 7 \) and \( x \geq 11 \) are not correct.

The final answer is \( x \geq 6 \).

Solve 1/4x−3/4>5 1/4 .
x>21 3/4
x>24
x>1 1/2
x>18

To solve the inequality \( \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{3}{4} > 5 \frac{1}{4} \), follow these steps:

  1. First, convert \( 5 \frac{1}{4} \) to an improper fraction. \[ 5 \frac{1}{4} = 5 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{20}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{21}{4} \] So the inequality becomes: \[ \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{3}{4} > \frac{21}{4} \]

  2. Next, add \( \frac{3}{4} \) to both sides: \[ \frac{1}{4}x > \frac{21}{4} + \frac{3}{4} \] \[ \frac{1}{4}x > \frac{21 + 3}{4} \] \[ \frac{1}{4}x > \frac{24}{4} \] \[ \frac{1}{4}x > 6 \]

  3. Now, multiply both sides by 4 to solve for \( x \): \[ x > 6 \times 4 \] \[ x > 24 \]

So the solution to the inequality is \( x > 24 \).

Among your options:

  • \( x > 21 \frac{3}{4} \): incorrect
  • \( x > 24 \): correct
  • \( x > 1 \frac{1}{2} \): incorrect
  • \( x > 18 \): incorrect

The final answer is \( x > 24 \).

Solve the inequality 6x+9>57 . Which of the following graphs shows the solution?

To solve the inequality \( 6x + 9 > 57 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ 6x > 57 - 9 \] \[ 6x > 48 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 6: \[ x > \frac{48}{6} \] \[ x > 8 \]

So, the solution to the inequality is \( x > 8 \).

Graphically Representing the Solution

To represent this solution graphically:

  • Draw a number line.
  • Mark the point \( 8 \) on the number line.
  • Since the inequality is \( x > 8 \), you should use an open circle (not filled) at \( 8 \) to indicate that \( 8 \) is not included in the solution.
  • Shade or draw an arrow to the right of \( 8 \) to indicate that all values greater than \( 8 \) are included in the solution.

If you have a set of graphs to choose from, look for the one that shows an open circle at \( 8 \) and shading extending to the right.

Hessa solved an inequality and graphed the solution on the number line. Which of the following inequalities did she solve?
25x−45≥115
37x+17≤167
15x−35≤25
35x+25≥325

To determine which of the inequalities Hessa solved, we can solve each of them to see what the solution looks like.

  1. First inequality: \(25x - 45 \geq 115\)

    Add 45 to both sides: \[ 25x \geq 115 + 45 \] \[ 25x \geq 160 \] Divide by 25: \[ x \geq \frac{160}{25} = 6.4 \]

  2. Second inequality: \(37x + 17 \leq 167\)

    Subtract 17 from both sides: \[ 37x \leq 167 - 17 \] \[ 37x \leq 150 \] Divide by 37: \[ x \leq \frac{150}{37} \approx 4.05 \]

  3. Third inequality: \(15x - 35 \leq 25\)

    Add 35 to both sides: \[ 15x \leq 25 + 35 \] \[ 15x \leq 60 \] Divide by 15: \[ x \leq 4 \]

  4. Fourth inequality: \(35x + 25 \geq 325\)

    Subtract 25 from both sides: \[ 35x \geq 325 - 25 \] \[ 35x \geq 300 \] Divide by 35: \[ x \geq \frac{300}{35} = \frac{60}{7} \approx 8.57 \]

Summary of Solutions:

  • \( 25x - 45 \geq 115 \) results in \( x \geq 6.4 \)
  • \( 37x + 17 \leq 167 \) results in \( x \leq 4.05 \)
  • \( 15x - 35 \leq 25 \) results in \( x \leq 4 \)
  • \( 35x + 25 \geq 325 \) results in \( x \geq 8.57 \)

Conclusion:

If you are trying to match the inequality Hessa solved with the solution she graphed:

  • If the graph includes an upper bound (which may not include the point itself) or just a point to the left of a certain number, it could correspond to the second or third inequalities.
  • If it shades to the right indicating a lower bound, it matches the first or fourth inequalities.

Without the specific numeral shown on Hessa's graph, you can choose the appropriate inequality based on whether the solution was a bounded interval or an unbounded one to the right.

If more context about Hessa's graph is provided (like the specific numbers or an open/closed circle), further clarification can be given.

a closed circle on the number 5 and an arrow pointing left

If Hessa's graph shows a closed circle on the number 5 and an arrow pointing left, this indicates that the solution includes 5 and represents all numbers less than or equal to 5.

This means Hessa has solved an inequality of the form:

\[ x \leq 5 \]

Now, let's go back to the inequalities we solved:

  1. \(25x - 45 \geq 115\) results in \(x \geq 6.4\) (not correct).
  2. \(37x + 17 \leq 167\) results in \(x \leq 4.05\) (not correct).
  3. \(15x - 35 \leq 25\) results in \(x \leq 4\) (not correct).
  4. \(35x + 25 \geq 325\) results in \(x \geq 8.57\) (not correct).

None of these exactly lead to \(x \leq 5\). However, it indicates that Hessa's solution should be interpreted slightly differently based on the closest comparison.

Among the given inequalities, none result in \(x \leq 5\) with a closed circle. If the available options don't exactly match the condition shown in the graph, ensure that there wasn't a misinterpretation or potentially another inequality that was not provided in the options.

Thus, based on your description of the graph, the closest valid inequality would ideally have been \(x \leq k\) with \(k\) around or less than 5, but it seems the options provided do not include one that matches this correctly under standard linear inequality forms.

If an extra inequality option like \(x \leq 5\) appears in an updated set, that would be the straightforward answer reflecting Hessa’s graph. If not, this could suggest that perhaps the context of another statement should be revisited or the options reevaluated for suitable adjustments.

2/5x−4/5≥ 1 1/5
3/7x+1/7≤ 1 6/7
1/5x−3/5≤ 2/5
3/5x+2/5≥ 3 2/5

Let's solve each inequality step by step to find their solutions.

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

Convert \( 1 \frac{1}{5} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{1}{5} = 1 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \]

Now, the inequality becomes: \[ \frac{2}{5}x - \frac{4}{5} \geq \frac{6}{5} \]

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

Multiply both sides by \( \frac{5}{2} \) (which is positive, so the inequality remains the same): \[ x \geq 2 \cdot \frac{5}{2} \] \[ x \geq 5 \]

2. Solve \( \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{1}{7} \leq 1 \frac{6}{7} \)

Convert \( 1 \frac{6}{7} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{6}{7} = 1 + \frac{6}{7} = \frac{7}{7} + \frac{6}{7} = \frac{13}{7} \]

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

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

Multiply both sides by \( \frac{7}{3} \): \[ x \leq \frac{12}{7} \cdot \frac{7}{3} \] \[ x \leq 4 \]

3. Solve \( \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{3}{5} \leq \frac{2}{5} \)

Add \( \frac{3}{5} \) to both sides: \[ \frac{1}{5}x \leq \frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{5} \] \[ \frac{1}{5}x \leq \frac{5}{5} \] \[ \frac{1}{5}x \leq 1 \]

Multiply both sides by \( 5 \): \[ x \leq 5 \]

4. Solve \( \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{2}{5} \geq 3 \frac{2}{5} \)

Convert \( 3 \frac{2}{5} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 3 \frac{2}{5} = 3 + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{17}{5} \]

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

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

Multiply both sides by \( \frac{5}{3} \): \[ x \geq 3 \cdot \frac{5}{3} \] \[ x \geq 5 \]

Summary of Results

  1. \( \frac{2}{5}x - \frac{4}{5} \geq 1 \frac{1}{5} \) results in \( x \geq 5 \)
  2. \( \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{1}{7} \leq 1 \frac{6}{7} \) results in \( x \leq 4 \)
  3. \( \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{3}{5} \leq \frac{2}{5} \) results in \( x \leq 5 \)
  4. \( \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{2}{5} \geq 3 \frac{2}{5} \) results in \( x \geq 5 \)

Final Answers

  • The first and fourth inequalities give the same condition: \( x \geq 5 \).
  • The second inequality gives \( x \leq 4 \).
  • The third inequality gives \( x \leq 5 \).
