Solve the inequality for x: 13 - 4x > 37. Simplify your answer as much as possible.
Solution
To solve the inequality , let’s proceed step-by-step:
Step 1: Isolate the term with .
Subtract 13 from both sides of the inequality:
Step 2: Solve for .
Now, divide both sides by -4. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign:
Final Answer:
Let me know if you'd like more details or if you have any questions.
Here are five related questions that build on this problem:
- How would the solution change if the inequality were ?
- Can you explain why dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign?
- What if the inequality was ? How would you solve it?
- How can we check if a particular value of satisfies the inequality ?
- If we graph the inequality on a number line, what would it look like?
Tip: Always remember to reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
