a) ax+15=44
Solution:
b) ax−44<15
Solution:
a) Start by subtracting 15 from both sides of the equation:
ax + 15 - 15 = 44 - 15
This simplifies to:
ax = 29
So the solution is ax = 29.
b) Start by adding 44 to both sides of the inequality:
ax - 44 + 44 < 15 + 44
This simplifies to:
ax < 59
So the solution is ax < 59.
