Q. Solve for x.4x−39>−43 AND 8x+31<23Choose 1 answer:(A) x<−1 or x>−1(B) x<−1(C) x>−1(D) There are no solutions(E) All values of x are solutions
Solve first inequality: Solve the first inequality 4x−39>−43.Add 39 to both sides to isolate the term with x.4x−39+39>−43+394x>−4
Isolate x term in first inequality: Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x. 44x>4−4 x>−1
Solve second inequality: Solve the second inequality 8x+31<23. Subtract 31 from both sides to isolate the term with x. 8x+31−31<23−31 8x<−8
Isolate x term in second inequality: Divide both sides by 8 to solve for x. 88x<8−8 x<−1
Combine solutions of both inequalities: Combine the solutions of both inequalities to find the common solution set.The first inequality gives us x>−1, and the second inequality gives us x<−1.Since there is no overlap between x>−1 and x<−1, there are no values of x that satisfy both inequalities at the same time.
