Question

Is the inequality always, sometimes, or never true?5x - 6<5(x - 5)Choose the correct answer below.Sometimes trueNever trueAlways true

Answer 1

In order to avaliate the inequatily, let's first expand the parenthesis in the right side:

$5x-6<5x-25$

We can subtract 5x from both sides of the inequality:

$-6<-25$

-6 is not lesser than -25, and any value of x we use will not change the final inequality, so this inequality is NEVER TRUE.
