Math Problem Statement
Solution
The inequality provided in the image is:
Let's solve each part of the inequality step by step:
1. First inequality:
- Divide both sides by 2:
2. Second inequality:
- Subtract 1 from both sides:
- Divide both sides by 3:
Now, we combine both inequalities using "or":
This means that can be any value less than or equal to 5, or greater than . Therefore, the solution is:
Would you like more details on any of these steps or explanations?
Here are 5 relative questions to expand on this topic:
- How do we graph the solution set of this inequality on a number line?
- What are the rules for solving inequalities with "or" conditions?
- How does solving compound inequalities differ from solving systems of equations?
- Can you explain the difference between "or" and "and" in compound inequalities?
- How does dividing or multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number affect the inequality?
Tip: Always be careful when solving inequalities. If you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you need to reverse the inequality sign.
