Question 8 • AZ-Algebra 1A (MA101)

Which interval is the solution set to 0.35x – 4.8 < 5.2 – 0.9x?

Answer
A
(–∞, –8)
B
(–∞, 8)
C
(–8, ∞)
D
(8, ∞)

Explanation

Add 0.9x to both sides and add 4.8 to both sides to get 1.25x < 10. Divide by 1.25, which is positive, so the inequality direction stays the same: x < 8. The solution set is (–∞, 8), choice B.
