7x-9>2(x+4) -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distribute the 2, combine like terms and solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have to muliply 2 into x and 4 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+8 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. Then move all your x terms to one side and your non-x terms to the other side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(by adding/subtracting)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soit would be 7x-2x>9-8 -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7x-2x > 8 + 9 (the 9 was negative on the other side)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7x-9>2(x+4) x>17/5 5x>17 7x-9>2x+8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its -9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is -9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 7x-2x>-9+8\[7x-2x \ge-9+8\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. \[7x - 9 \ge 2(x+4)\]\[\implies 7x - 9 \ge 2x + 8\]\[\implies 7x -9 -2x \ge 2x +8 - 2x\]\[\implies 7x - 2x - 9 + 9\ge 8 + 9\]\[\implies 7x - 2x \ge 8 + 9\]\[\implies 5x \ge 17\]\[\implies x \ge \frac{17}{5}\]
