Hello! If anyone could check my answers, that'd be great! I really don't understand so if I get them wrong and all that please tell me what I did wrong
Solve each inequality.
1.
m - 7 < 6
A. m < -1
B. m > 1
C. m < 13 **
D. m < -13
2.
p + 12 > 9
A. p > 21 **
B. p > 3
C. p > -21
D. p > -3
#1 ok
#2 what is 9-12?
1. is good , 2. is not
inequalities solve just like equations (equalities)
... the only big difference is that multiplying or dividing by a
... negative quantity changes the direction of the "arrowhead"
2. you have to subtract 12 to get p by itself ... p > 9 - 12
9 - 12 is -3, so it's D?
Thanks you two, i got it right!
To solve the inequalities, let's go step by step:
1. m - 7 < 6
To solve this inequality, we want to isolate the variable 'm'.
First, let's add 7 to both sides of the inequality to cancel out the -7 term:
m - 7 + 7 < 6 + 7
Simplifying gives us:
m < 13
So the correct answer is C. m < 13.
2. p + 12 > 9
Similar to the previous inequality, we want to isolate the variable 'p'.
To do this, let's subtract 12 from both sides of the inequality:
p + 12 - 12 > 9 - 12
Simplifying gives us:
p > -3
So the correct answer is D. p > -3.
