Q3 Given 16x + 32 > 48x + 96
To find Range of x
Approach and working out

What is the range of x if
16x + 32 > 48x + 96 ?
16x + 32 > 48x + 96
A -2 < x < 0 1 Rearranging the terms: ⇒ 16x – 48x > 96 – 32
⇒ -32x > 64
B -2 < x < ∞ 1
Multiplying by -1 on Case if you don’t change

C -∞ < x < -2 both sides:
⇒ x < -2
⇒ 32x > -64

1. Mistake 1 – Conceptual – drawing inference from Corrective Action – Build concepts

absolute value equation when there are only
variables involved.
2. Mistake 2 – Consider All Cases – by applying the Corrective Action – Fix HABITS – Build
concept of “multiplication of –ve number on both conceptual clarity so that you always consider
sides of inequality requires flipping of sign” all cases.
3. Mistake 3 – DS Process – How to combine Corrective Action – Infer – Learn how to draw
information in multiple statements inferences by combining information.
