solve the equation and inequality for x, assuming a > 0.

Question

a) ax + 15 = 44 solution: _
b) ax - 44 < 15 solution: _

Word bank:
x = 29/a
x = 59a
x = 59/a
x = 29a
x < 59/a
x < 29a
x < 29/a
x < 59a

Answer 1

a) Solving the equation ax + 15 = 44:

ax = 44 - 15
ax = 29
x = 29/a

Therefore, the solution is x = 29/a.

b) Solving the inequality ax - 44 < 15:

ax < 15 + 44
ax < 59
x < 59/a

Therefore, the solution is x < 59/a.
