What value of x is in the solution set of -5x - 15 > 10 + 20x?
-2, -1, 0, 1
Solution:
Given: - 5x - 15 > 10 + 20x
Let us solve the inequality by isolating the variable x.
Add 5x on both sides
- 5x - 15 + 5x > 10 + 20x + 5x
- 15 > 10 + 25x
Subtract 10 from both sides
- 15 - 10 > 10 - 10 + 25x
- 25 > 25x
Divide both sides by - 25
-1 > x
x < - 1
From the values in the given solution set, we have -2 which is the required value.
What value of x is in the solution set of -5x - 15 > 10 + 20x?
-2, -1, 0, 1
Summary:
The value of x in the solution set of - 5x - 15 > 10 + 20x is x < - 1 and the required value from the solution set is -2.
