To solve:
The given inequality.
Answer to Problem 28E
The solution for our given inequality would be
Explanation of Solution
Given:
An inequality:
Concept used:
To solve an inequality, we use opposite operations as we use to solve an equation. When we divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by any negative number, it reverses the inequality.
Calculation:
We will solve our given inequality using opposite operations as shown below:
Therefore, the solution for our given inequality would be all values of x greater than 5. The solution of our given inequality in interval notation would be
Since 5 is not a solution of our given inequality, so we will have an open dot at
