MCQ
If − 3x + 17 < -13, then:
  • A
    $\text{x}\in(10,\infty)$
  • B
    $\text{x}\in[10,\infty)$
  • C
    $\text{x}\in(-\infty,10]$
  • D
    $\text{x}\in[-10,10)$

Answer

  1. $\text{x}\in(10,\infty)$

Solution:

− 3x + 17 < −13

Subtracting 17 on both sides, we get

⇒ −3x + 17 − 17 < −13 − 17

⇒ −3x < − 30

Dividing −3 on both sides, we get

$\Rightarrow\frac{-3\text{x}}{-3}>\frac{-30}{-3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}>10$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(10,\infty)$
