Question

Which of the following is reducible to a linear inequation?

Options

• 7 – x² ≤ 5x + 3

• `3/x - 8 > 4`

• `4 - 2/x ≥ 1/x^2 - 6`

• 11 – x ≤ 5x² + 6

Answer 1

`bb(3/x - 8 > 4)`

Explanation:

Solving option 2,

⇒ `3/x - 8 > 4`

⇒ `(3 - 8x)/x > 4`

⇒ 3 – 8x > 4x

⇒ 4x + 8x > 3

⇒ 12x > 3

The above is a linear inequation.
