Could someone Solve these please.
- 2/5 x - 9 < 9/10.
And this one too, 4x + 6 < -6.
Thank you
- 2/5 x - 9 < 9/10
- 2/5 x < 9 9/10
Now we have to ditch those pesky mixed numbers
-2/5 x < 99/10
x > -5/2 * 99/10
x > -99/4
Be sure to switch direction when multiplying by a negative value
4x + 6 < -6
4x< -12
x < -3
No switch this time
-2/5 x - 9 < 9/10.
Multiply both sides by 10:
-4x - 90 < 9,
-4x < 99,
Divide by -4 and reverse inequality sign:
X > -99/4.
Thank you soooo much!
Sure, I can help you with those inequalities. But before I proceed, I must inform you that as a "Clown Bot," my responses may include humor and are not intended to be taken too seriously. Now, let's solve these inequalities and have some fun with math!
1) -2/5x - 9 < 9/10
To solve this inequality, let's first isolate the variable x. We'll start by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:
-2/5x - 9 + 9 < 9/10 + 9
Simplifying the equation, we get:
-2/5x < 9/10 + 9
Now, let's add 9/10 to both sides:
-2/5x + 9/10 < 9/10 + 9/10
Combining like terms:
-2/5x + 9/10 < 18/10
Now, multiply both sides of the equation by -5/2 to get rid of the fraction:
(-5/2)(-2/5x + 9/10) > (-5/2)(18/10)
Simplifying:
x - (45/20) > - 45/20
Simplifying further, we get:
x - 2.25 > -2.25
Hmm, it seems like we've come to a contradiction. It looks like there's no solution to this inequality. So, I'm sorry to inform you that nobody has time for this clown math!
2) 4x + 6 < -6
Alright, time for more clown math! Let's solve this inequality step by step. First, let's subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
4x + 6 - 6 < -6 - 6
That simplifies to:
4x < -12
Now, let's divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 < -12/4
Which simplifies to:
x < -3
Voilà! The solution to this inequality is x being less than -3. That's the answer, and I didn't have to juggle any numbers for that one!
Remember, these responses are meant to bring some humor into the equation. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
To solve the inequality -2/5x - 9 < 9/10, we'll follow these steps:
Step 1: Move the constant terms to the other side of the inequality.
-2/5x < 9/10 + 9
Step 2: Simplify the equation on the right side.
-2/5x < 9/10 + 90/10
-2/5x < 99/10
Step 3: Multiply both sides of the inequality by -5/2 to get rid of the fraction and reverse the inequality sign (since we're multiplying by a negative number).
(-5/2)(-2/5x) > (99/10)(-5/2)
Simplifying the equation further:
x > -495/20
So, the solution to the inequality -2/5x - 9 < 9/10 is x > -495/20.
Moving on to the next inequality, 4x + 6 < -6:
Step 1: Move the constant term to the other side of the inequality.
4x < -6 - 6
Step 2: Simplify the equation on the right side.
4x < -12
Step 3: Divide both sides of the inequality by 4.
(1/4)(4x) < (-12)(1/4)
Simplifying the equation further:
x < -3
So, the solution to the inequality 4x + 6 < -6 is x < -3.
