1. Subtract 7 from 42
2. Divide by (-5)
NOTE: remember to flip the inequality because you are dividing by a negative number!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-5x+7-42
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or -42<-5x+7<42
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whats the answer ?
7?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
- 5x + 7 < 42
first subtract 7 from both sides
-5x < 35
then divide both sides by -5 and remember to flip the sign because it entails division by a negative
x > 7
Hope that helps! (it's my first day on the site, so I hope the input is beneficial!)
