Respuesta :
2x + 5 ≤ x - 3
We can treat this like a usual algebraic equation.
Subtract x from both sides.
x + 5 ≤ -3
Subtract 5 from both sides.
x ≤ -8
Thus, x is less than or equal to the quantity -8.
We can test this by plugging in two values into the original inequality: a number greater than -8, and a number less than -8.
2x + 5 ≤ x - 3
We'll use 2 first.
2 * 2 + 5 ≤ 2 - 3
9 ≤ -1 × this is incorrect
Now we'll use -10
2x + 5 ≤ x - 3
2 * -10 + 5 ≤ -10 - 3
-15 ≤ -13 √ this is correct
Mathematics defines an algebraic equation as a statement in which a relationship between two expressions is established through an equals sign.
For the given question the equation will be:
[tex]\rm 2x + 5 = x - 3[/tex]
On solving the above equation, x can be defined as -8.
Solution of Algebraic Equation.
Let the number be x.
According to the question:
Twice of x + 5 = x - 3
This forms a quadratic equation:
[tex]\rm 2x + 5 = x - 3[/tex]
The equation [tex]\rm 2x + 5 = x + 3[/tex] can be solved as follows:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm 2x + 5 &= x - 3\\\\ 2x - x &= -3 - 5\\\\x &= -8 \end[/tex]
Therefore the number is -8.
