Question:
Solve each of the following system of equations in R.
13. 2 (x − 6) < 3x − 7, 11 − 2x < 6 − x
Solution:
$2(x-6)<3 x-7$
$\Rightarrow 2 x-12<3 x-7$
$\Rightarrow 3 x-7>2 x-12$
$\Rightarrow 3 x-2 x>-12+7$
$\Rightarrow x>-5$
$\Rightarrow x \in(-5, \infty) \quad \ldots$ (i)
Also, $11-2 x<6-x$
$\Rightarrow 6-x>11-2 x$
$\Rightarrow 2 x-x>11-6$
$\Rightarrow x>5$
$\Rightarrow x \in(5, \infty) \quad \ldots$ (ii)
Hence, the solution of the given inequation is the intersection of (i) and (ii).
$(-5, \infty) \cap(5, \infty)=(5, \infty)$
Hence, the solution of the given inequation is $(5, \infty)$.
