Solve the following inequalities:

a) 2w + 17 ˃ -4w -25

b) 2.3 + 0.6t ˂ 2 + 0.8t

c) determine if – 3.5 and 10 make the inequalities in parts a) and b) true or not. check both numbers in both inequalities. show your work.

A) w > -7

B) 1.5 < t

C) -3.5 makes A) true and B) false

    10 makes both inequalities true

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea of these exercises is to clear our variable, we need it to be alone on one side of the inequality

A) 2w + 17 ˃ -4w -25

First, we will put together on one side the terms with a w and on the other the terms without w.

For that, we have to add 4w - 17 on both sides

2w + 17 + 4w - 17 ˃ -4w -25 + 4w - 17 (Notice that 17-17=0 and -4w+4w=0, so we don't have to write them below)

2w + 4w > -25 - 17

Now we can sum the terms (we didn't do it before because we can't sum a term with a w with one without it)

6w > -42

We divide by 6 on both sides and we have

6/6w > -42/6

w > -7

B) 2.3 + 0.6t ˂ 2 + 0.8t

We start as before; in this case we have to put together the terms with a t (our variable changes name but the idea is the same)

We will add -2 - 0.6t on both sides

2.3 + 0.6t -2 - 0.6t ˂ 2 + 0.8t -2 - 0.6t  

2.3 - 2 < 0.8t - 0.6t

Now we sum the terms  

0.3 < 0.2t

We divide by 0.2 on both sides and we have

0.3/0.2 < 0.2/0.2t

1.5 < t

C) Let's check -3.5 on both inequalities:

We have to replace the variable by -3.5:

2*(-3.5) + 17 ˃ -4*(-3.5) -25 (remember that if there is no sign between a number and a variable, it means that is a multiplication)

Now we just solve the calculation

-7 + 17 > 14 -25

10 > -11

That's true, so -3.5 makes the inequality true.

Now, in the other inequality, we replace the t by -3.5 and solve as before

2.3 + 0.6*(-3.5) ˂ 2 + 0.8*(-3.5)

2.3 - 2.1 < 2 - 2.8

0.2 < -0.8

That's false because we are saying that a negative number is bigger than a positive one, so -3.5 makes the inequality not true.

  Now we do the same with 10 in both inequalities:

   2*10 + 17 ˃ -4*10 -25

   20 + 17 > -40 -25

   37 > - 65

   It's true!

   2.3 + 0.6*10 ˂ 2 + 0.8*10

   2.3 + 6 < 2 + 8

   8.3 < 10

   It's true!

answer: a) (0,0), (1,1), (2,8), and (3,27).

step-by-step explanation:

0^3=0

1^3=1

2^3=8

3^3=27

in effect, the exponential equation for this would me y=3^x. each x-coordinate cubed is giving the y coordinate, so a is your answer : )
