Grade 7 - Mathematics
6.36 Solving Inequations - II

Example: Solve 2(x+3) < 5 (x-3).
Solution: 2x+6 < 5x-15.
Add -6 to both sides, we get
2x + 6 - 6 < 5x - 15 -6
2x < 5x - 21
Add -5x to both sides, we get
2x - 5x < 5x -21 -5x
-3x < -21
Divide both sides by -3.
-3x/-3 > -21/-3
x > 7
\ Any number > 7 is a solution.

Verification: Substituting x = 8 > 7
L.H.S. = 2(x+3) = 2(8+3) = 2*11 = 22
R.H.S. = 5(x-3) = 5(8-3) = 5 * 5 = 25
\ 22 < 25
\ 8 > 7 is a root.
Similarly we can show that any number greater than 7 is a root.
