Answer : A
Explanation
Step 1:
Given 3x + 6 > 15; Subtracting 6 from both sides
3x + 6 − 6 > 15 − 6; 3x > 9
Step 2:
Dividing both sides by 3 we get
$\frac{3x}{3}$ > $\frac{9}{3}$; x > 3
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is x > 3
Answer : D
Explanation
Step 1:
Given 8 – 4x ≥ 12 ; Subtracting 8 from both sides
8 – 4x −8 ≥ 12 − 8; −4x ≥ 4
Step 2:
Dividing both sides by −4 and flipping the sign
$\frac{−4x}{−4}$ ≥ $\frac{4}{−4}$; x ≤ −1
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is x ≤ −1
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
Given 5y + 1 > 11; Subtracting 1 from both sides
5y + 1 −1 > 11 – 1; 5y > 10
Step 2:
Dividing both sides by 5
$\frac{5y}{5}$ > $\frac{10}{5}$; y > 2
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is y > 2
Answer : C
Explanation
Step 1:
Given 3w + 8 < 29; Subtracting 8 from both sides
3w + 8 − 8 < 29 – 8; 3w < 2
Step 2:
Dividing both sides by 3
$\frac{3w}{3}$ < $\frac{21}{3}$; w < 7
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is w < 7
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
Given 4 < 4x + 12; Subtracting 12 from both sides
4 −12 < 4x + 12 – 12; −8 < 4x
Step 2:
Dividing both sides by 4
$\frac{−8}{4}$ < $\frac{4x}{4}$; −2 < x
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is x > −2
Answer : C
Explanation
Step 1:
Given $\frac{x}{3}$ −4 < −3;
Adding 4 to both sides
$\frac{x}{3}$ −4 + 4 < −3 + 4; $\frac{x}{3}$ < 1
Step 2:
Multiplying both sides by 3
$\frac{x}{3}$ × 3 < 1 × 3; x < 3
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is x < 3
Answer : A
Explanation
Step 1:
Given $\frac{−x}{2}$ −5 > 2;
Adding 5 to both sides
$\frac{−x}{2}$ −5 + 5 > 2 + 5; $\frac{−x}{2}$ > 7
Step 2:
Multiplying both sides by 2
$\frac{−x}{2}$ × 2 > 7 × 2; −x > 14; x < −14
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is x < −14
Answer : D
Explanation
Step 1:
Given −5 ≤ 3 − 4x;
Subtracting 3 from both sides
−5 −3 ≤ 3 − 4x −3; −8 ≤ −4x
Step 2:
Dividing both sides by −4 and flipping sign
$\frac{−8}{−4}$ ≥ $\frac{−4x}{−4}$; 2 > x; x < 2
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is x ≤ 2
Answer : C
Explanation
Step 1:
Given 5y + 6 ≤ 36;
Subtracting 6 from both sides
5y + 6 −6 ≤ 36 – 6; 5y ≤ 30;
Step 2:
Dividing both sides by 5
$\frac{5y}{5}$ ≤ $\frac{30}{5}$; y ≤ 6
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is y ≤ 6
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
Given 4 ≤ $\frac{z}{2}$ − 1;
Adding 1 to both sides
4 + 1 ≤ $\frac{z}{2}$ – 1 + 1; 5 ≤ $\frac{z}{2}$
Step 2:
Multiplying both sides by 2
5 × 2 ≤ $\frac{z}{2}$ × 2; 10 ≤ z; z ≥ 10
Step 3:
So, solution for the given two-step linear inequality is z ≥ 10
