Question

solve these inequality:

1. ) 5x + (-3) > 2 (3 + x)

2.) 5c + 2< 2c + (-7)

Answer 1

do you know how to distribute?

Answer 2

5x + (-3) > 2 (3 + x) First distribute the 2 to 3 + x.

5x + (-3) > 6 + 2x then you have to combine like terms. So subtract 2x from both sides.
-2x -2x
-----------------
3x + (-3) > 6 then I would add 3 to both sides
+3 +3
--------------
3x > 9 then I would divide 3 from both sides
/3 /3
----------
x = 3

Answer 3

Do you have multiple choice answers?

Answer 4

5c + 2< 2c + (-7) First subtract 2c from both sides.
-2c -2c
------------------
3c + 2 <-7 Now subtract 2 from both sides
-2 -2
----------
3c < -9 Divide 3 from both sides
/3 /3
--------
c < -3
