Q. Solve for x.−9x+5<17 AND 13x+25<−1Choose 1 answer:(A) x<−2 or x>−34(B) x<−2(C) x>−34(D) There are no solutions(E) All values of x are solutions
Solve first inequality: First, let's solve the inequality -9x + 5 < 17.Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with x.-9x + 5 - 5 < 17 - 5-9x < 12Now, divide both sides by −9, remembering to reverse the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number.x > -\frac{12}{-9}x > \frac{4}{3}
Solve second inequality: Next, let's solve the second inequality 13x + 25 < -1.Subtract 25 from both sides to isolate the term with x.13x + 25 - 25 < -1 - 2513x < -26Now, divide both sides by 13 to solve for x.x < -26 / 13x < -2
Combine inequalities and find solution: Now we have two inequalities to combine into one solution set:x > \frac{4}{3} and x < -2.However, these two inequalities do not overlap; there is no number that is both greater than 34 and less than −2. Therefore, there is no solution to the system of inequalities.
