36. What is the solution set of the inequality 2x + 5 < 17?

{x | x < 6}
{x | x < 4}
{x | x > 6}
{x | x > 4}
Explanation:

To find the solution, first subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x < 12. Then, divide by 2 to get x < 6.

37. Which inequality represents the statement 'a number is greater than or equal to 3'?

x ≤ 3
x ≥ 3
x > 3
x < 3
Explanation:

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to', so x ≥ 3 represents the statement.

{x | x ≥ 3}
{x | x ≥ -3}
{x | x ≤ 3}
{x | x ≤ -3}
Explanation:

39. Which inequality represents the statement 'a number is less than 9'?

x < 9
x ≥ 9
x > 9
x ≤ 9
Explanation:

The symbol '<' means 'less than', so x < 9 represents the statement.

40. What is the solution set of the inequality 3x - 4 > 8?

{x | x > 4}
{x | x < 6}
{x | x < 4}
{x | x > 6}
Explanation:

Add 4 to both sides to get 3x > 12. Divide by 3 to find x > 4.

41. If x = 2, which inequality is true?

x + 2 ≥ 5
2x > 5
3x < 6
4x ≤ 8
Explanation:

Substitute x=2 into the expressions to find x + 2 = 4 which is greater than or equal to 5.

42. Which inequality represents the statement 'a number is not equal to 7'?

x > 7
x = 7
x < 7
x ≠ 7
Explanation:

The symbol '≠' means 'not equal to', so x ≠ 7 represents the statement.

43. Solve the inequality: 2(3x - 1) ≥ 6

x < 1
x > 1
x ≥ 1
x ≤ 1
Explanation:

44. What is the solution set of the inequality -2x + 9 < 5?

{x | x < 2}
{x | x < 4}
{x | x > 4}
{x | x > 2}
Explanation:

Subtract 9 from both sides to get -2x < -4. Divide by -2 and remember to switch the inequality sign to find x > 2.

45. If x = -3, which inequality is true?

3x > -10
x + 3 ≤ 0
4x < -12
2x ≥ -5
Explanation:

Substitute x=-3 into the expressions to find 4x = -12 which is less than -12.
