(3) 3x + 5 - (4) 5x + 1 > 6
9x + 15 - 20x + 4 > 6
11 - 11x > 6
-11x > -5
x < 5/11
Just want to know if I ended with the right answer? Found 2 solutions by ewatrrr, JBarnum:Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi, you have the right idea multiplying each term on both sides of the equation by 12 and you have
the correct answer: however 9x + 15 - 20x + 4 > 6 , the +4 was not written as a -4
3x + 5 5x + 1 1
______ - ________ > ___
4 3 2
3(3x + 5) - 4(5x+1) > 1/2
9x + 15 -20x - 4 > 6
-11x + 11 > 6
-11x > -5
Dividing by -11, yes! does change the sign of the inequality
x < 5/11

You are indeed correct in the answer but your work is incorrect make sure to carry the negative in the distribution if all u needed was answer then u guessed correct, but if u were to review the work u did the answer u would get is the possitive 4 should be a negative 4 to have 15-4 and not 15+4
