Solve the inequalities in Exercises 5 to 16 for real x:
It is given in the question that,
Cross - multiplying the denominators, we get:
9(x- 2) ≤ 25(2 – x)
9x – 18≤ 50 – 25x
Adding 25x both the sides,
9x – 18 + 25x ≤ 50 – 25x + 25x
34x – 18≤ 50
Adding 25x both the sides,
34x – 18 + 18 ≤ 50 + 18
34x ≤ 68
Dividing both sides by 34,
x ≤ 2
∴ The solutions of the given inequality are defined by all the real numbers less than or equal to 2.
Thus, (-∞, 2] is the required solution set.
