Question

How do I solve this problem -7(the lesser than or equal to sign) 2x+3(<) 5

Answer 1

you are going to need to set up two equations

Answer 2

one
-7(less than or equal sign) 2X+3
two
2X+3(<)5
you will get two answers
it would look like this
for example
6<x>9

Answer 3

Alright Thank you, I will tell you what I came up with so far

Answer 4

k

Answer 5

for my solutions I have(-5,infinity symbol] and (5/2,infinity symbol)

Answer 6

Infinity?

Answer 7

ok lets work Equation one
-7(Less than or equal) 2X+3

Answer 8

subtract 3 from both sides

Answer 9

I end up with 2 is less than or equla to x

Answer 10

you should get -10
since you subtracted -3 and you have a -7 on the other side you get -10

Answer 11

alright

Answer 12

-7 (less than equal) 2X+3
-3 -3
=-10 (less than equal) 2x

Answer 13

then divide by 2
and we get -5

Answer 14

yup good job!

Answer 15

do the same for the other equation

Answer 16

but I am supposed to express each in interval notation

Answer 17

and for the other equation x<5/2

Answer 18

you should get 1 for the other equation

Answer 19

2X+3<5
-3<-3
2X<2 divide by 2 on both side
2 2

X=1
