Write an inequality for each statement,then solve the inequality.
Six is less than or equal to the sum of 4 and -2x.
The product of 4 and the sum of a number and 12 is at most 16.
The sum of half a number and two-thirds of the number is less than 14.
Please help I've been stuck on these for about 45 minutes now.
:c
Math help please :c?
1 question:
6 ≤ -2x + 4
6 - 4 ≤ -2x
2 ≤ -2x
-1 ≥ x
* note: the equality sign is swapped because when you divide or multiply a number by a negative, then the equality sign changes.
2nd question:
4(x+12) ≤ 16
4x + 48 ≤ 16
4x ≤ -32
x ≤ -8
3rd question:
(x/2) + (2x/3) %26lt; 14
7x/6 %26lt; 14
7x %26lt; 84
x %26lt; 12
I hope that helps!
Reply:6 %26lt;= 4 + (-2x)
6 - 4 %26lt;= -2x
2 %26lt;= -2x
1 %26gt;= x or x %26lt;= 1
4 * (x + 12) %26lt;= 16
4x + 48 %26lt;= 16
4x %26lt;= -32
x %26lt;= -8
1/2 N + 2/3 N %26lt; 14
3/6 N + 4/6 N %26lt; 14
7/6 N %26lt; 14
7N %26lt; 14*6 ( = 84 )
N %26lt; 12
Reply:First:
6 %26lt;= 4-2x
6-4 %26lt;= -2x
2 %26lt;= -2x
1 %26lt;= -x
x %26gt;= -1
--------------------------------------
Second:
Let a number be x,
4x + (x + 12) %26lt;=16 {less than equals to imples atmost}
5x + 12 %26lt;= 16
5x %26lt;= 16-12
5x %26lt;= 4
x %26lt;= 4/5
Third:
Let the number be x,
x/2 + 2x/3 %26lt; 14
Taking LCM
(3x+4x)/6 %26lt; 14
7x/6 %26lt; 14
7x %26lt; 14*6
x %26lt; (14*6)/7
x %26lt; 12
I am abit confused with sequencing of second statment "The product of 4 and the sum of a number and 12". If anyone can verify this.
