# 1

To see if any values are solutions, we need to test them all



Let's see if is a solution.


Start with the given inequality.


Plug in .


Multiply


Combine like terms.


Since the inequality is FALSE,this means that is NOT a solution.

Answer:


So the solutions of the inequality are and .








# 2


written in interval notation is [)






# 3


First rewrite -5 > x > -7 into -7 < x < -5


So the answer in interval notation is


()







# 4




Start with the given inequality.


Multiply both sides by the LCD to clear the fractions.


Distribute and multiply.


Divide both sides by to isolate . note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is


Which approximates to



So the solution set is

1. y-10>2y-3 are 7,-18,-11,or -3 a solution to the inequality?
Solving for y you get y < -7
So -18 and -11 are solutions.
--------------------------------
2. (x|x is greater than or equal to -5) how do i write in interval notation?
Interval Notation: [-5,inf)
--------------------------------
3. what is interval notation for the set (x|-5>x>-7)
(-7,-5)
---------------------------------
4. solve -7/2x > -5/4 ...what is solution x|x???
Multiply both sides by -2/7 to get:
x < 5/14
