Q. Solve for x x .\newline5x412 5 x-4 \geq 12 \quad AND 12x+54 \quad 12 x+5 \leq-4 \newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) x165 x \geq \frac{16}{5} or x34 x \leq-\frac{3}{4} \newline(B) x165 x \leq \frac{16}{5} \newline(C) x34 x \geq-\frac{3}{4} \newline(D) There are no solutions\newline(E) All values of x x are solutions
  1. Solve first inequality: Solve the first inequality 5x4125x - 4 \geq 12.\newlineAdd 44 to both sides to isolate the term with xx on one side.\newline5x4+412+45x - 4 + 4 \geq 12 + 4\newline5x165x \geq 16\newlineNow, divide both sides by 55 to solve for xx.\newline5x5165\frac{5x}{5} \geq \frac{16}{5}\newlinex165x \geq \frac{16}{5}
  2. Solve second inequality: Solve the second inequality 12x+5412x + 5 \leq -4.\newlineSubtract 55 from both sides to isolate the term with xx on one side.\newline12x+554512x + 5 - 5 \leq -4 - 5\newline12x912x \leq -9\newlineNow, divide both sides by 1212 to solve for xx.\newline12x12912\frac{12x}{12} \leq \frac{-9}{12}\newlinex34x \leq -\frac{3}{4}
  3. Combine solutions of both inequalities: Combine the solutions of both inequalities to find the common solution set.\newlineThe first inequality gives us x165x \geq \frac{16}{5}, and the second inequality gives us x34x \leq -\frac{3}{4}. Since there is no overlap between these two sets (no xx can be both greater than or equal to 165\frac{16}{5} and less than or equal to 34-\frac{3}{4} at the same time), there are no solutions that satisfy both inequalities simultaneously.
