Math Problem Statement

Solve the inequality 5x - 4 > 11

Solution

The problem given is an inequality 5x4>115x - 4 > 11. Let's solve it step by step:

Step 1: Isolate the variable xx.

5x4>115x - 4 > 11 First, add 4 to both sides: 5x>11+45x > 11 + 4 5x>155x > 15

Step 2: Solve for xx.

Now, divide both sides by 5: x>155x > \frac{15}{5} x>3x > 3

Thus, the solution to the inequality is x>3x > 3.

Correct Answer:

The correct option is x>3\boxed{x > 3}.

  1. How would the solution change if the inequality was 5x4115x - 4 \geq 11?
  2. What happens when you divide an inequality by a negative number?
  3. Can you solve 5x4<115x - 4 < 11 and interpret the solution graphically?
  4. How do you graph the solution x>3x > 3 on a number line?
  5. If the inequality were 5x4>11-5x - 4 > 11, what would the solution be?

Tip: Always reverse the inequality symbol when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number.
