Section A · multiple choice

  1. 1.

    The solution of −6x − 2 < 1 is:

    1. x > −1/2
    2. x > 1/2
    3. x > 1/6
    4. x < −1/2
    Answer

    (a) x > −1/2

    −6x < 3; dividing by a negative number reverses the sign

  2. 2.

    The solution of 0 ≤ 6x + 8 < 17 is:

    1. −8 ≤ x < 9
    2. 4/3 ≤ x < 25/6
    3. −4/3 ≤ x < 3/2
    4. −4/3 < x ≤ 3/2
    Answer

    (c) −4/3 ≤ x < 3/2

    subtract 8, then divide by 6

  3. 3.

    How many integers x satisfy −12 ≤ 2x + 2 < 2?

    1. 9
    2. 8
    3. 6
    4. 7
    Answer

    (d) 7

    −7 ≤ x < 0

Section B · short answer

  1. 4.

    Solve: x/6 − 5 ≥ x/5 − 0.

    Answer

    x ≤ −150

    multiply by 30: x(1/6 − 1/5) ≥ 5; the coefficient is negative, so the sign reverses

  2. 5.

    Solve 3 < 9 − 6x ≤ 12.

    Answer

    −1/2 ≤ x < 1

    subtract 9, then divide by −6 and reverse both signs

Section C · long answer

  1. 6.

    A solution of 2,970 litres contains 60% acid. How many litres of water must be added so that the acid content is between 30% and 45%?

    Answer

    Between 990 and 2,970 litres

    30 ≤ 60 × 2970 ÷ (2970 + x) ≤ 45
