Answer 6

ok distribute -11
-8-33x-77<-40x-9
take all x terms to one side
-33x+40x<-9+8+77

Answer 7

oh ok now i'm ok i feel real dumb, looking through my notes and with your help i realize what i got to do thank you so much

Answer 8

yw:)

Answer 9

aww sorry forgot....
-8-11(3x+7)<-40x-9

Multiply -11 by each term inside the parentheses.
-8-33x-77<-40x-9

Subtract 77 from -8 to get -85.
-85-33x<-40x-9

Since -40x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the inequality by adding 40x to both sides.
-33x-85+40x<-9

Since -33x and 40x are like terms, subtract 40x from -33x to get 7x.
7x-85<-9

Since -85 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by adding 85 to both sides.
7x<85-9

Subtract 9 from 85 to get 76.
7x<76

Divide each term in the inequality by 7.
(7x)/(7)<(76)/(7)

Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common factors.
x<(76)/(7)
