Q. Solve for x.−7x−50≤−1 AND −6x+70>−2Choose 1 answer:(A) x≥−7(B) −7≤x<12(C) x<12(D) There are no solutions(E) All values of x are solutions
Solve First Inequality: Solve the first inequality −7x−50≤−1. To isolate x, we need to add 50 to both sides of the inequality. −7x−50+50≤−1+50−7x≤49 Now, we divide both sides by −7, remembering that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. −7x/−7≥49/−7x≥−7
Solve Second Inequality: Solve the second inequality −6x+70>−2.First, subtract 70 from both sides of the inequality.−6x+70−70>−2−70−6x>−72Now, we divide both sides by −6, again remembering to reverse the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number.−6x/−6<−72/−6x<12
Combine Solutions: Combine the solutions from Step 1 and Step 2 to find the range of x that satisfies both inequalities.From Step 1, we have x≥−7.From Step 2, we have x<12.The compound inequality that combines both is −7≤x<12.
