Answer :

The correct representations of the given inequality are

–6x + 15 < 10 – 5x

and

A number line with an open circle at 5 and a bold line that starts at 5 and is pointing to the right. The correct options are the third and fourth options

Solving inequality

From the question, we are to solve the inequality

The given inequality is

–3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x)

First, clear the brackets

–6x + 15 < 10 – 5x

NOTE: This is one of the correct representations of the inequality

Collect like terms

-6x + 5x < 10 - 15

-x < -5

Divide both sides by -1 and flip the sign

x > 5

Representing this on a number line, we get a number line with an open circle at 5 and a bold line that starts at 5 and is pointing to the right.

Hence, the correct representations of the given inequality are

–6x + 15 < 10 – 5x

and

A number line with an open circle at 5 and a bold line that starts at 5 and is pointing to the right. The correct options are the third and fourth options
