Q. Solve for x x .\newline4x+60<72 OR 14x+11<31 -4 x+60<72 \quad \text { OR } \quad 14 x+11<-31 \newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) x<3 x<-3 or x>3 x>-3 \newline(B) x>3 x>-3 \newline(C) x<3 x<-3 \newline(D) There are no solutions\newline(E) All values of x x are solutions
  1. Solving the first inequality: First, let's solve the inequality -4x + 60 < 72.\newlineSubtract 6060 from both sides to isolate the term with xx.\newline-4x + 60 - 60 < 72 - 60\newline-4x < 12\newlineNow, divide both sides by 4-4. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.\newline\frac{-4x}{-4} > \frac{12}{-4}\newlinex > -3
  2. Solving the second inequality: Next, let's solve the inequality 14x + 11 < -31.\newlineSubtract 1111 from both sides to isolate the term with xx.\newline14x + 11 - 11 < -31 - 11\newline14x < -42\newlineNow, divide both sides by 1414 to solve for xx.\newline\frac{14x}{14} < \frac{-42}{14}\newlinex < -3
  3. Contradiction and no solution: Now we have two inequalities:\newlinex > -3 from the first inequality, and\newlinex < -3 from the second inequality.\newlineThese two inequalities contradict each other, as there is no number that is both greater than and less than 3-3 at the same time.\newlineTherefore, there are no values of xx that satisfy both inequalities simultaneously.
