Q. Solve for x.3x−91>−87 AND 17x−16>18Choose 1 answer:(A) x>2(B) x>34(C) 34<x<2D There are no solutions(E) All values of x are solutions
Solve first inequality: Solve the first inequality 3x - 91 > -87.Add 91 to both sides to isolate the term with x.3x - 91 + 91 > -87 + 913x > 4Now, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.\frac{3x}{3} > \frac{4}{3}x > \frac{4}{3}
Solve second inequality: Solve the second inequality 17x - 16 > 18.Add 16 to both sides to isolate the term with x.17x - 16 + 16 > 18 + 1617x > 34Now, divide both sides by 17 to solve for x.\frac{17x}{17} > \frac{34}{17}x > 2
Combine solutions: Combine the solutions from Step 1 and Step 2.We have two inequalities:x > \frac{4}{3}x > 2Since x must be greater than both 34 and 2, and 2 is greater than 34, the solution set is determined by the more restrictive inequality, which is x > 2.
