Exercise 18 Page 197

Start by solving the inequality.

{ k | k<- 13}

Practice makes perfect
Before we can write the inequality in set-builder notation, we have to solve the inequality by isolating k.
3(2k+12)<- 42
2k+12<- 14
2k<- 26
k<- 13
To use set-builder notation, we need a variable, which in this case is k, and a statement describing the elements of the set. Knowing that k<- 13 is the solution to the inequality, we can write the solution in set-builder notation. { k | k<- 13} This can be read as the set includes any value of k such that k is less than - 13.
