Question

Solve each inequality and tell whether it has infinitely many or no solution:
0.5x+8<2x-4

hintHint:

Linear inequalities are expressions where any two values are compared by the inequality symbols<,>,≤&≥ .
We are asked to solve the inequality and check whether there exists infinite or no solutions.

The correct answer is: 8 < X


    Step 1 of 1:
    Rearrange and solve the inequality;
    table attributes columnalign right left right left right left right left right left right left columnspacing 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em end attributes row cell 0.5 x plus 8 less than 2 x minus 4 end cell row cell 4 plus 8 less than 2 x minus 0.5 x end cell row cell 12 less than 1.5 x end cell row cell fraction numerator 12 over denominator 1.5 end fraction less than x end cell row cell 120 over 15 less than x end cell row cell 8 less than x end cell end table
    Here, the inequality has infinite number of solutions.

    A linear inequality could possibly have infinite number of solutions. But it is not necessary that it should be true for every inequality.
