What is the solution set of 2x−3=5 and 5x+3>−12 ?(1 point)

1 answer

To solve the problem, we need to find the solution set for both equations: \(2x - 3 = 5\) and \(5x + 3 > -12\).

  1. Solve the equation \(2x - 3 = 5\): \[ 2x - 3 = 5 \] Add 3 to both sides: \[ 2x = 8 \] Divide by 2: \[ x = 4 \]

  2. Solve the inequality \(5x + 3 > -12\): \[ 5x + 3 > -12 \] Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ 5x > -15 \] Divide by 5: \[ x > -3 \]

  3. Combine the results:

    • From the first equation, we have \(x = 4\).
    • From the inequality, we have \(x > -3\).

Since \(x = 4\) satisfies the inequality \(x > -3\), the solution set includes \(x = 4\).

Thus, the complete solution set can be expressed as: \[ { 4 } \]

In conclusion, the solution set for the given equations is \({ 4 }\).
