Q. Solve for x x .\newline18x+21>15 OR 20x1327 -18 x+21>-15 \quad \text { OR } \quad 20 x-13 \geq 27 \newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) x<2 x<-2 or x2 x \geq 2 \newline(B) x=2 x=-2 \newline(C) x2 x \geq 2 \newlineD There are no solutions\newline(E) All values of x x are solutions
  1. Solve first inequality: Solve the first inequality 18x+21>15-18x + 21 > -15.\newlineSubtract 2121 from both sides to isolate the term with xx.\newline18x+2121>1521-18x + 21 - 21 > -15 - 21\newline18x>36-18x > -36\newlineNow, divide both sides by 18-18, remembering to reverse the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number.\newlinex<3618x < \frac{-36}{-18}\newlinex<2x < 2
  2. Solve second inequality: Solve the second inequality 20x132720x - 13 \geq 27.\newlineAdd 1313 to both sides to isolate the term with xx.\newline20x13+1327+1320x - 13 + 13 \geq 27 + 13\newline20x4020x \geq 40\newlineNow, divide both sides by 2020.\newlinex4020x \geq \frac{40}{20}\newlinex2x \geq 2
  3. Combine solutions: Combine the solutions from Step 11 and Step 22.\newlineThe first inequality gives us x<2x < 2.\newlineThe second inequality gives us x2x \geq 2.\newlineThe only number that satisfies both conditions is x=2x = 2.
