Question Solve the inequality 102(3x1)>6x+1010-2(3x-1)>6x+10 for the variable xx.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are solving the inequality 102(3x1)>6x+1010 - 2(3x - 1) > 6x + 10.
2. We will use the properties of inequalities to isolate the variable xx.
3. We will perform similar operations on both sides of the inequality to maintain the inequality's truth.

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the 2-2 across the terms inside the parentheses on the left side of the inequality.
102(3x1)>6x+1010 - 2(3x - 1) > 6x + 10

STEP 3

Apply the distributive property.
1023x+21>6x+1010 - 2 \cdot 3x + 2 \cdot 1 > 6x + 10

STEP 4

Simplify the left side of the inequality by multiplying the terms.
106x+2>6x+1010 - 6x + 2 > 6x + 10

STEP 5

Combine like terms on the left side of the inequality.
126x>6x+1012 - 6x > 6x + 10

STEP 6

To isolate the variable xx, we need to get all the xx terms on one side and the constants on the other. Let's add 6x6x to both sides of the inequality.
126x+6x>6x+10+6x12 - 6x + 6x > 6x + 10 + 6x

STEP 7

Simplify both sides of the inequality.
12>12x+1012 > 12x + 10

STEP 8

Now, subtract 1010 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with xx on one side.
1210>12x+101012 - 10 > 12x + 10 - 10

STEP 9

Simplify both sides of the inequality.
2>12x2 > 12x

STEP 10

To solve for xx, divide both sides of the inequality by 1212.
212>12x12\frac{2}{12} > \frac{12x}{12}

STEP 11

Simplify both sides of the inequality.
16>x\frac{1}{6} > x

STEP 12

We can rewrite the inequality with xx on the left side.
x<16x < \frac{1}{6}
The solution to the inequality is x<16x < \frac{1}{6}.
