Examples

Lessons

Solve.
1. $7x \le 63$
2. $- \frac{1}{8}x$ > $- 5$
3. $3 \ge \frac{x}{{1.3}}$
4. $2.4x$ < $-1.8$
Determine if the solution is correct for each inequality.
1. $21.4 - x$ < $17$ ; $x = 8$
2. $- \frac{2}{5}x \le 5$ ; $x = - 2$
3. $31 \ge - 3x$ ; $x = 1.5$
4. $\frac{5}{8}x$ < $2.6$ ; $x = 0.54$
