Solve the following inequation
4x – 9 > – 33, where x is a negative integer
Advertisements
Solution
4x – 9 > – 33
Adding 9 both the sides
4x – 9 + 9 > – 33 + 9
4x > – 24
Dividing both the sides by 4
`(4x)/4 > (-24)/4`
x > – 6
Since the solution belongs to a negative integer that are greater than – 6, we take values of x as – 5, – 4, – 3, – 2 and – 1
