Exercise 42 Page 338

Isolate a variable in an inequality by performing inverse operations.

No solutions.

Practice makes perfect
Inequalities can be solved in the same way as equations, by performing inverse operations on both sides until the variable is isolated. The only difference is that when you divide or multiply by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.
2(5c-4)≥ 5(2c+8)
10c-8≥ 5(2c+8)
10c-8≥ 10c+40
- 8≥ 40 *
The inequality above is always false so there are no solutions to this inequality.
