For each inequality, decide whether the solutions is represented by x < 2.5 or x >2.5
1. -4x + 5 > -5. 2. -25 > -5(x + 2.5)

Sagot :

#1

  • -4x+5>-5
  • -4x>-5-5
  • -4x>-10
  • 4x<10
  • x<2.5

#2

  • -25>-5(x+2.5)
  • 25<5(x+2.5)
  • x+2.5>5
  • x>2.5

Answer:

1. x < 2.5

2. x > 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

Given inequality:

-4x + 5 > -5

Subtract 5 from both sides:

⇒ -4x + 5 - 5 > -5 - 5

⇒ -4x > -10

Divide both sides by -4 (remembering to flip the sign as we are dividing by a negative):

⇒ -4x ÷ -4 > -10 ÷ -4

⇒ x < 2.5

Question 2

Given inequality:

-25 > -5(x + 2.5)

Expand the brackets:

⇒ -25 > -5x - 12.5

Add 12.5 to both sides:

⇒ -25 + 12.5 > -5x - 12.5 + 12.5

⇒ -12.5 > -5x

Divide both sides by -5 (remembering to flip the sign as we are dividing by a negative):

⇒ -12.5 ÷ -5 > -5x ÷ -5

⇒ 2.5 < x

⇒ x > 2.5
