Find all real number x which satisfy the inequa... - JAMB Mathematics 2020 Question
Find all real number x which satisfy the inequality \(\frac{1}{3}\) (x + 1) - 1 > \(\frac{1}{5}\)(x + 4)
A
x < 11
B
x < -1
C
x > 6
D
x > 11
correct option: d
What we need is a solution set that satisfies the given inequality. Each value in the solution set will satisfy the inequality and no other value will satisfy the inequality.
\(\frac{1}{3}\) (x + 1) - 1 > \(\frac{1}{5}\)(x + 4) = \(\frac{x + 1}{3} - 1\) > \(\frac{x + 4}{5}\)
\(\frac{x + 1}{3} - \frac{x + 4}{5} -1\) > 0
= \(\frac{5x + 5 - 3x - 12}{15}\)
2x - 7 > 15
2x > 22
Divide through by 2:
x > 11
