Question

what value of \\(x\\) is in the solution set of the inequality \\(-5x - 15 > 10 + 20x\\)?

-1
1
-2
0

Explanation:

Isolate the variable terms

Using the Solving Linear Inequalities knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Solve for x

Using the Inequality Properties knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Identify the correct value from the options

To find which value of \(x\) is in the solution set \(x < -1\), we test the given choices:

  • For \(x = -1\): \(-1 < -1\) is false.
  • For \(x = 1\): \(1 < -1\) is false.
  • For \(x = -2\): \(-2 < -1\) is true.
  • For \(x = 0\): \(0 < -1\) is false.

Thus, only \(-2\) satisfies the inequality.

Answer:

  • (A) \(-1\)
  • (B) \(1\)
  • (C) \(-2\) (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(0\)
