Q 1 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

10 < x + 6

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

Given 10 < x + 6; Using additive property of inequality We subtract 6 from both sides

10 − 6 < x + 6 – 6; 4 < x; x > 4

Step 2:

So, the solution for the inequality is x > 4

Q 2 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

x + 15 > 7

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

Given x + 15 > 7; Using additive property of inequality

We subtract 15 from both sides

x + 15 − 15 > 7 – 15; x > −8

Step 2:

So, the solution for the inequality is x > −8

Q 3 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

x −12 > 9

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

Given x −12 > 9; Using additive property of inequality

We add 12 to both sides

x + 12 − 12 > 9 + 12; x > 21

Step 2:

So, the solution for the inequality is x > 21

Q 4 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

5 – x ≥ 8

Answer : D

Explanation

Step 1:

Given 5 – x ≥ 8; Using additive property of inequality

We subtract 5 from both sides

5 − x – 5 ≥ 8 – 5; −x ≥ 3

Step 2:

Dividing both sides by −1, we get x ≤ −3 after flipping the inequality sign as well.

So, the solution for the inequality is x ≤ −3

Q 5 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

x + 3 ≥ −5

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

Given x + 3 ≥ −5; Using additive property of inequality

We subtract 3 from both sides

3 + x – 3 ≥ −3 – 5; x ≥ −8

Step 2:

So, the solution for the inequality is x ≥ −8

Q 6 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

8 > 19 − x

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

Given 8 > 19 − x; Using additive property of inequality

We subtract 19 from both sides

8 − 19 > 19 –x − 19; −11 > −x

Step 2:

Dividing both sides by −1, we get 11 < x after flipping the inequality sign as well.

So, the solution for the inequality is x > 11

Q 7 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

x + 2 > −15

Answer : D

Explanation

Step 1:

Given x + 2 > − 15; Using additive property of inequality

We subtract 2 from both sides

x +2 − 2 > –15 − 2; x > −17

Step 2:

So, the solution for the inequality is x > −17

Q 8 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

8 – x ≥ 13

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

Given 8 – x ≥ 13; Using additive property of inequality

We subtract 8 from both sides

8 − x – 8 ≥ 13 – 8; −x ≥ 5

Step 2:

Dividing both sides by −1, we get x ≤ −5 after flipping the inequality sign as well.

So, the solution for the inequality is x ≤ −5

Q 9 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

x + 9 ≥ −6

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

Given x + 9 ≥ −6;

Using additive property of inequality We subtract 9 from both sides

x + 9 – 9 ≥ −6 – 9; x ≥ −15

Step 2:

So, the solution for the inequality is x ≥ −15

Q 10 - Solve the following using the additive property of inequality:

16 < 7 − x

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

Given 16 < 7 − x; Using additive property of inequality

We subtract 7 from both sides

16 − 7 < 7 –7 − x; 9 < −x

Step 2:

Dividing both sides by −1, we get −9 > x after flipping the inequality sign as well.

So, the solution for the inequality is x < −9
