Multiplying by$\frac{3}{2}, \frac{2}{3} x \times \frac{3}{2}<4 \times \frac{3}{2}$

Question 7.

Solve $-5(x+4)>30 ; x \in Z$

Solution:-

-5(x+4)>30

Dividing by -5, $\frac{-5(x+4)}{-5}<\frac{30}{-5}$

Note: Division by a negative number reverses the equality

x+4<-6

x+4-4<-6-4

x<-10

Question 8.

Solve the inequation 8-2x>x-5;x∈N

Solution:-

8-2x≥x-5;x∈N

8+5≥2x+x

13≥3x⇒3x≤13

$x \leq \frac{13}{3}=4 \frac{1}{3}$

x=1,2,3,4(x∈N)

Solution set ={1,2,3,4}

Question 9.

Solve the inequality18-3(2x-5)>12;x∈W .

Solution:-

18-3(2x-5)>12;x∈W

18-6x+15  33-12>6x

21>6x

$6 x<21 \Rightarrow x<\frac{21}{6}+\frac{7}{2}=3 \frac{1}{2}$

But x∈W, x=0,1,2,3

∴ Solution set ={0,1,2,3}

Question 10.

Solve: $\frac{2 x+1}{3}+15<17 ; x \in W$

Solution:-

$\frac{2 x+1}{3}+15 \leq 17 ; x \in \mathrm{W}$ $\frac{2 x+1}{3} \leq 17-15=2$

2x+1≤6⇒2x≤5

$x \leq \frac{5}{2}=2 \frac{1}{2}$

Solve :-3+x<2,x∈N

Solution:

-3+x<2,x∈N

x<2-(-3)

x<2+3

x<5

∴x=1,2,3,4  (∵x∈N)

∴ Solution set ={1,2,3,4}

Question 12.

Solve: 4x-5>10-x,x∈{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

Question 13.

Solve: 15-2(2x-1)<15,x∈Z

Solution:

15-4x+2<15

17-4x<15

-4x<15-17

-4x<-2

Dividing by -4, $\frac{-4}{-4} x>\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

∴x=1,2,3,4,5,

∴ Solution set ={1,2,3,4,5,…}

Question 14.

Solve: $\frac{2 x+3}{5}>\frac{4 x-1}{2}, x \in W$

Solution:-

$\frac{2 x+3}{5}>\frac{4 x-1}{2}, x \in \mathbb{W}$

2(2x+3)>5(4x-1)

4x+6>20x-5

4x-20x>-5-6

-16x>-11

Dividing by -16, $x<\frac{-11}{-16}$ $x<\frac{11}{16}$

∴x=0

∴ Solution set ={0}

Solve and graph the solution set on a number line:

Question 15.

x-5<-2;x∈N

Solution:-

x-5<-2

Adding 5 to both sides, x-5+5<-2+5

x<3

∴ The required graph is

### ICSE Class 8 Maths Selina Solutions Chapter 15 – Linear Inequations

Almost everyday we come across mathematical inequalities, but you might not have noticed them because they are so familiar. Some of the examples of mathematical inequalities that we come across in our daily lives are speed limit in highways, minimum payments on credit card bills, etc. While considering these situations we use mathematical thinking such as speed limits on highway can be mathematically written as Legal speed on the highway ≤ 65 miles per hour. When two expressions are connected by “greater than” or “less than” sign, we get an inequality. Also, the linear inequation is similar to a linear equation, where the equal to sign is replaced by the inequality sign.
