16.

Solve the inequality -6(x + 3) \(\leq\) 4(x - 2)

A. x \(\leq\) 2

B. x \(\geq\) -1

C. x \(\geq\) -2

D. x \(\leq\) -1

Detailed Solution

-6(x + 3) \(\leq\) 4(x - 2)

-6(x +3) \(\leq\) 4(x - 2)

-6x -18 \(\leq\) 4x - 8

-18 + 8 \(\leq\) 4x +6x

-10 \(\leq\) 10x

10x \(\geq\) -10

x \(\geq\) -1

17.

Solve the inequality x2 + 2x > 15.

A. x < -3 or x > 5

B. -5 < x < 3

C. x < 3 or x > 5

D. x > 3 or x < -5

Detailed Solution

x2 + 2x > 15

x2 + 2x - 15 > 0

(x2 + 5x) - (3x - 15) > 0

x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) >0

(x - 3)(x + 5) > 0

therefore, x = 3 or -5

then x < -5 or x > 3

i.e. x< 3 or x < -5

A. x \(\leq\) 2

B. x \(\geq\) -1

C. x \(\geq\) -2

D. x \(\leq\) -1

Detailed Solution

-6(x + 3) \(\leq\) 4(x - 2)

-6(x +3) \(\leq\) 4(x - 2)

-6x -18 \(\leq\) 4x - 8

-18 + 8 \(\leq\) 4x +6x

Solve the inequality x2 + 2x > 15.

A. x < -3 or x > 5

B. -5 < x < 3

C. x < 3 or x > 5

D. x > 3 or x < -5

Detailed Solution

x2 + 2x > 15

x2 + 2x - 15 > 0

(x2 + 5x) - (3x - 15) > 0

x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) >0

(x - 3)(x + 5) > 0

therefore, x = 3 or -5

then x < -5 or x > 3

i.e. x< 3 or x < -5
