Question:

The solution set of the inequation $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3x}{5}+4)≥\frac{1}{3}(x-6)$ is

Options:

[120, ∞) 

(-∞, 120] 

[0, 120]

 [-120, 0]

Correct Answer:

(-∞, 120] 

Explanation:

We have,

$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3x}{5}+4)≥\frac{1}{3}(x-6)$

$⇒\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3x+20}{5})≥\frac{1}{3}(x-6)$

$⇒\frac{3x+20}{10}≥\frac{x-6}{3}$

$⇒ 3(3x+20) ≥10 (x-6)$ [Multiplying both sides by 30 i.e. the LCM of 10 and 3]

$⇒ 9x+60 ≥10x-60 $

$⇒ 9x-10x≥60-60 $

$⇒ -x≥120 $

$⇒ x ≤120 $

$⇒ x ∈ (-∞, 120]$

Hence, the solution set of the given inequation is (-∞, 120].
