Math Problem Statement
Solution
I see the image contains two inequalities. Let me solve each of them step by step:
17. Solve the inequality:
Step-by-step solution:
-
Distribute the 2 on the left side: So, the inequality becomes:
-
Simplify the right side: Now the inequality is:
-
Add to both sides:
-
Add 6 to both sides:
-
Multiply both sides by (and reverse the inequality):
The solution to the inequality is:
18. Solve the compound inequality:
Step-by-step solution:
-
Split the inequality into two parts and solve each:
-
Solve the left part: Add 4 to both sides: Divide by 3: This is:
-
Solve the right part: Add 4 to both sides: Divide by 3:
-
-
Combine both results:
The solution to the compound inequality is:
Would you like a detailed explanation of any part, or perhaps the graph for these solutions?
Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
- How do you graph the solution of the inequality ?
- What happens if the inequality involves multiplying or dividing by a negative number?
- Can you solve the inequality ?
- How do you solve absolute value inequalities?
- Can you solve a system of inequalities, such as and ?
Tip: When solving inequalities, always reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number.
