Q. Solve for x.−4x+60<72 OR 14x+11<−31Choose 1 answer:(A) x<−3 or x>−3(B) x>−3(C) x<−3(D) There are no solutions(E) All values of x are solutions
Solving the first inequality: First, let's solve the inequality -4x + 60 < 72.Subtract 60 from both sides to isolate the term with x.-4x + 60 - 60 < 72 - 60-4x < 12Now, divide both sides by −4. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.\frac{-4x}{-4} > \frac{12}{-4}x > -3
Solving the second inequality: Next, let's solve the inequality 14x + 11 < -31.Subtract 11 from both sides to isolate the term with x.14x + 11 - 11 < -31 - 1114x < -42Now, divide both sides by 14 to solve for x.\frac{14x}{14} < \frac{-42}{14}x < -3
Contradiction and no solution: Now we have two inequalities:x > -3 from the first inequality, andx < -3 from the second inequality.These two inequalities contradict each other, as there is no number that is both greater than and less than −3 at the same time.Therefore, there are no values of x that satisfy both inequalities simultaneously.
