1. solve for x
2(-3x+1) < -5x+14

2. -2(3x+15) less than or equal to 42

For your first question, the solution is x> -12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, expand 2(-3x+1), writing it as -6x+2

Next, subtract both sides by 2;

-6x + 2 - 2 < -5x + 14 - 2

Then, we simplify;

-6x < -5x + 12

Next, add both sides to 5x;

-6x + 5x < -5x + 12 + 5x

Simplify;

-x<12

Then, multiply both sides by -1, using reverse of inequality;

(-x)(-1)>12(-1)

Finally, simplify;

x>-12

The answer to your second question is x is greater than or equal to -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply both sides by -1, reversing the inequality;

(-2(3x+15))(-1) greater than or equal to 42(-1)

Next, simplify;

2(3x+15) greater than or equal to -42

Then, divide 2 from both sides;

2(3x+15/2 greater than or equal to -42/2

Next, simplify;

3x + 15 greater than or equal to -21

Then, we subtract both sides by 15;

3x+15-15 greater than or equal to -21-15

Simplify;

3x greater than or equal to -36

Next, divide 3 from both sides;

3x/3 greater than or equal to -36/3

Finally, simplify;

x greater than or equal to -12

I hope we helped you answer your question.

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
