Question 314464: Solve each inequality and express your solution using interval notation. (1) 13-7x<55 (2)5x+19< or egual x-41
Answer by texttutoring(324)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Treat the inequality signs like equal signs, and solve them like any other algebraic equation.
13-7x<55
13-55 < 7x
-42 < 7x
-6 < x
For your interval notation, just draw an open dot (because it's <) on a number line at -6 with an arrow pointing to the right.
5x+19 < x-41
4x < -41 -19
4x < -60
x < -15
So x is less than or equal to -15.
This time, draw a closed dot at -15, and the arrow should point left.
