OpenStudy (anonymous):

@xstreetprowl : You there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distribute the 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what do you get when you distribute the 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7x + 14 >5x - 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you solve for x now? :) .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk what to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so we have: 7x+14 >5x -10 Pretend it says 7x+14=5x-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The goal is to try and get all the x's on one side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How can we achieve that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
