Which of the following statements is necessarily true?
Given:
Which of the following statements is necessarily true?
Let's solve the inequality \left|3x - 1\right| < 5x :
Remove the absolute value by considering two cases:
3x - 1 < 5x
Solve for :
3x - 1 < 5x
Subtract from both sides:
-1 < 2x
Divide both sides by :
-\frac{1}{2} < x
Rewriting this inequality yields: x > -\frac{1}{2}
-(3x - 1) < 5x
Simplifying yields:
-3x + 1 < 5x
Add to both sides:
1 < 8x
Divide both sides by :
\frac{1}{8} < x
This implies x > \frac{1}{8}
Combine results:
Both conditions imply x > \frac{1}{8} . Thus, the solution is x > \frac{1}{8} .
x > \frac{1}{8}
