Practice Question

Solve the inequality for x: (1/8)x ? (1/2)x + 15

Answer Choices

  • A: x ? -24
  • B: x ? -40
  • C: x ? -40
  • D: x ? -24

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Solve: (1/8)x - (1/2)x ? 15. Combine: (1/8)x - (4/8)x = (-3/8)x ? 15. Multiply by -8/3 (reverse inequality): x ? 15 * (-8/3) = -40. Thus, the correct answer is x ? -40.
