Question 154291: This review will it ever end. I kinda need a refresher on solution sets and how to graph them. There are two types one is a straight equation and the other an inequality.
example 1. 3(2x-1)=4x+7
If its supposed to go this way I first broke it down into
6x-1=4x+7 which normally to me would become 2x=8 and x=4 but I dont think thats where that is supposed to be heading.
example 2. is 5<3w +8<14
I can sorta remember this one having to do with subtracting the 8 from the seprate sections leaving
-3<3w<6 then some sort of divison maybe?
-1< w <2
Is that how that goes or no?
