Rita bakes pies at The Corner Bakery. The number of pies she can bake, x, is limited by the ingredients they have in stock. This situation is represented by the compound inequality 2x - 3 < 7 and 5 - x < 8.
Solve the compound inequality and select all the viable solutions.
-2 pies
2 pies
1 pie
O pies
-1 pies
-3 pies
5 pies
6 pies
4 pies
3 pies

The solution for the inequality is -3< x <5

The viable solutions are;

-2 pies, -1 pies, 0 pies, 1 pie, 2 pies, 3 pies, and 4 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequalities are;

2·x - 3 < 7 and 5 - x < 8

Therefore, we have;

2·x - 3 < 7

2·x < 7 + 3

2·x < 10

x < 5

From the other inequality, we have;

5 - x < 8

-x < 8 - 5 = 3

-x < 3

-x/(-1) > 3/(-1)  

x > -3

Therefore, the solution for the inequality is given as follows;

-3< x <5

The possible values are;

-2 pies, -1 pies, 0 pies, 1 pie, 2 pies, 3 pies, and 4 pies.

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

the answer will be
