Question 12 • 4413VA ALGEBRA 3 SEM A

Solve for x.5x – 10 > 20 or 5x – 10 ≤ –15

Answer
A
–5 ≤ x < 6
B
–1 ≤ x < 6
C
x ≤ –5 or x > 6
D
x ≤ –1 or x > 6

Explanation

Solve each inequality separately because they are joined by “or.” From 5x − 10 > 20, add 10 and divide by 5 to get x > 6. From 5x − 10 ≤ −15, add 10 and divide by 5 to get x ≤ −1. Together, the solution is x ≤ −1 or x > 6, which is choice D.
