How do you solve the inequality.

Question

8(1-k/2)>-5k+17

Answer 1

Hello, again, Legen

 

Let's  solve it in stages:

8(1- k/2)= 8- 8k/2

                8-4k  

So, we have

 

8-4k> -5k +17              Adding 5k to both sides

   +5k  +5k

8+k > 17                      Subtract 8 from both sides

-8      -8

    k > 9

 

If you were to graph this, there should be an open circle on the 9 and shade the line all the way to the right. 

 

I hope this helps you out.  And don't forget to rate my answer :)
