Question

Rearranging and Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities.

(Solve the inequality below for x, where r > 0).

A) x > 34/r

B) x > 34r

C) x > 4/r

D) x > 4r

Answer 1

A. x > 34/r

Explanation:

To solve for the inequality, use inverse operations to isolate x. Begin by adding 15 to both sides and then divide by r.

rx - 15 > 19

rx > 34

x > 34/r
