Linear Programming Question 92

Question: Solution set of the following inequalities is $ 2(x-1)<x+5,3(x+2)>2-x $

Options:

A) $ (-1,7) $

B) $ (1,7) $

C) $ (-1,\infty ) $

D) $ (-\infty ,7) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ 2(x-1)<x+5 $

$ \Rightarrow 2x-2<x+5 $

$ \Rightarrow 2x-x<5+2 $

$ \Rightarrow x<7 $ (1) $ 3(x+2)>2-x $

$ \Rightarrow 3x+6>2-x $

$ \Rightarrow 3x+x>2-6 $

$ \Rightarrow 4x>-4 $

$ \Rightarrow x>-1 $ (2) For (1) and (2) it can be concluded that solution set for the given system of inequalities is (-1,7).
