Solution
The inequality in the image is:
Let's solve this step by step.
Step 1: Break the inequality into two parts:
and
Step 2: Solve each part of the inequality.
For :
- Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the denominator:
- Add 5 to both sides:
- Divide both sides by 6: So, .
For :
- Multiply both sides by 2:
- Add 5 to both sides:
- Divide by 6:
Step 3: Combine the two inequalities.
From both parts, we have:
Step 4: Write the solution in interval notation.
The solution set is:
Thus, the correct choice is A, with the solution set .
Would you like further details or assistance with any step? Here are five related questions to consider:
- How do you graph inequalities on a number line?
- Can you solve compound inequalities with different types of inequalities (e.g., strict vs. non-strict)?
- What happens when you multiply or divide inequalities by negative numbers?
- How can inequalities be used to represent real-world problems?
- What is the difference between set notation and interval notation?
Tip: When solving inequalities, always be careful when multiplying or dividing by a negative number—this reverses the inequality sign!
