Which of the following intervals contain the solution to the equation:
2x + 5 x - 2 = -----———- 3 A.) -6 < x < 11 B.) 11 ≤ x < 15 C.) 6 < x ≤ 10 D.) -5 < x ≤ -3 E.) -11 < x ≤ -2
2x + 5
x - 2 = -------- 3 3(x - 2) = 2x + 5 {multiplied each side by 3, clearing out fraction} 3x - 6 = 2x + 5 {used distributive property} x = 11 {added 6 and subtracted 2x from each side} B.) 11 ≤ x < 15 contains the solution x = 11 Ask Algebra House Comments are closed.
