Mathematics Question on Algebraic Solutions of Linear Inequalities in One Variable and their Graphical Representation
Solve the given inequality and show the graph of the solution on number line: 3(1 - x) < 2(x + 4).
Answer
3(1 - x) < 2(x + 4)
⇒ 3 -3x < 2x + 8
⇒ 3 - 8 < 2x + 3x
⇒ -5 < 5x
⇒5−5<55x
⇒ -1 < x
The graphical representation of the solutions of the given inequality is as follows.
