5x + 1 > –24
⇒ 5x > –25
⇒ x > –5 …. (1)
5x – 1 < 24
⇒ 5x < 25
⇒ x < 5 …. (2)
From (1) and (2), it can be concluded that the solution set for the given system of inequalities is (–5, 5).
The solution of the given system of inequalities can be represented on number line as
Give reasons for the following.
(i) King Tut’s body has been subjected to repeated scrutiny.
(ii) Howard Carter’s investigation was resented.
(iii) Carter had to chisel away the solidified resins to raise the king’s remains.
(iv) Tut’s body was buried along with gilded treasures.
(v) The boy king changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun.
In mathematics, inequality is a relationship that compares two numbers or other mathematical expressions in a non-equal fashion. It is most commonly used to compare the size of two numbers on a number line.
Specifically, a linear inequality is a mathematical inequality that integrates a linear function. One of the symbols of inequality is observed in a linear inequality: In graph form, it represents data that is not equal.
Some of the linear inequality symbols are given below:
Inequalities can be demonstrated as questions that are solved using alike procedures to equations, or as statements of fact in the form of theorems. It is used to contrast numbers and find the range or ranges of values that pleases a variable's criteria.
