Solve the inequality
1. m - 7 < 6
2. x + 4.5 more than or equal to 5.5
3.p + 12 > 9
4. Translate the following statement into an inequality: Five less than a number is at least nine.
x - 5 more than or equal to 9
Show me how you did the work please?
m-7 < 6
add 7 to both sides, (just like you would for an equation)
m < 13
Do the other two the same way
Sure! I'll show you how to solve each inequality step by step:
1. m - 7 < 6
Add 7 to both sides: m - 7 + 7 < 6 + 7
Simplify: m < 13
2. x + 4.5 ≥ 5.5
Subtract 4.5 from both sides: x + 4.5 - 4.5 ≥ 5.5 - 4.5
Simplify: x ≥ 1
3. p + 12 > 9
Subtract 12 from both sides: p + 12 - 12 > 9 - 12
Simplify: p > -3
4. Translate the statement "Five less than a number is at least nine" into an inequality: x - 5 ≥ 9
Now you have the solutions for each inequality.
Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
