Q. Solve for x.11x+4<15 OR 12x−7>−25Choose 1 answer:(A) −23<x<1(B) x>−23(C) x<1(D) There are no solutions(E) All values of x are solutions
Solve first inequality: Solve the first inequality 11x + 4 < 15. Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the term with x. 11x + 4 - 4 < 15 - 4 11x < 11 Now, divide both sides by 11 to solve for x. \frac{11x}{11} < \frac{11}{11} x < 1
Solve second inequality: Solve the second inequality 12x - 7 > -25.Add 7 to both sides to isolate the term with x.12x - 7 + 7 > -25 + 712x > -18Now, divide both sides by 12 to solve for x.\frac{12x}{12} > \frac{-18}{12}x > -1.5 or x > -\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)
Combine solutions: Combine the solutions from Step 1 and Step 2.The first inequality gives us x < 1.The second inequality gives us x > -\left(\frac{3}{2}\right).Since we are looking for values of x that satisfy either inequality (due to the "OR" condition), we combine the two solution sets.This means x can be any value greater than −(23) and less than 1, or x can be any value greater than −(23) alone.
Determine correct answer choice: Determine the correct answer choice.Looking at the answer choices, we need to find the one that matches our combined solution set.(A) -(\frac{3}{2}) < x < 1 is not correct because it does not include values of x that are greater than 1.(B) x > -(\frac{3}{2}) is correct because it includes all values of x that are greater than −(23), which is the solution to the second inequality and is not limited by the first inequality.(C) x < 1 is not correct because it does not include values of x that are less than −(23).(D) There are no solutions is not correct because we found solutions for x.(E) All values of x are solutions is not correct because x cannot be equal to or greater than 1 according to the first inequality.
