Q. Solve for x.−9x+2>18 AND 13x+15≤−4Choose 1 answer:(A) x≤−1319(B) x<−916(C) −916<x<−1319(D) There are no solutions(E) All values of x are solutions
Solve first inequality: Solve the first inequality -9x + 2 > 18.Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term with x.-9x + 2 - 2 > 18 - 2-9x > 16Now, divide both sides by −9, remembering to reverse the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number.x < -\frac{16}{9}
Solve second inequality: Solve the second inequality 13x+15≤−4.Subtract 15 from both sides to isolate the term with x.13x+15−15≤−4−1513x≤−19Now, divide both sides by 13 to solve for x.x≤−1319
Combine solution sets: Combine the solutions of the two inequalities to find the solution set.The first inequality gives us x < -\frac{16}{9}.The second inequality gives us x≤−1319.We need to find the intersection of these two sets.Since −1319 is less than −916, the solution set is all x such that x is less than −916 and at the same time less than or equal to−1319.This means the solution set is x≤−1319.
Check for overlap: Check if there is any overlap between the two solution sets.Since −1319 is less than −916, all values that are less than or equal to −1319 are also less than −916. Therefore, the solution set is indeed x≤−1319.
