Q. Which of the following numbers is NOT a solution\newlineof the inequality 3x543x3x - 5 \geq 4 - 3x?\newlineA) 1-1\newlineB) 2-2\newlineC) 3-3\newlineD) 5-5
  1. Simplify inequality: Simplify the inequality by adding 3x3x to both sides:\newline3x5+3x43x+3x3x - 5 + 3x \geq 4 - 3x + 3x\newline6x546x - 5 \geq 4
  2. Add to isolate xx: Add 55 to both sides to isolate the term with xx:6x5+54+56x - 5 + 5 \geq 4 + 56x96x \geq 9
  3. Divide to solve xx: Divide both sides by 66 to solve for xx:6x696\frac{6x}{6} \geq \frac{9}{6}x1.5x \geq 1.5
  4. Check solutions: Check each option to see if it satisfies x1.5x \geq 1.5:\newlineA) x=1x = -1: 11.5-1 \geq 1.5 (False)\newlineB) x=2x = -2: 21.5-2 \geq 1.5 (False)\newlineC) x=3x = -3: 31.5-3 \geq 1.5 (False)\newlineD) x=5x = -5: 51.5-5 \geq 1.5 (False)
