8d + 2 < 5d - 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isolate the d on one side, and then divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so add 5 on both sides

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

you would want to subtract 5d on both sides (if you wanted the d terms on the left)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got 3d + 2 < -7

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

Yup, now get the terms without the variable on the right side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i add 2 t both sides

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

Since you have + 2 on the left side, in order to move it to the right side, you want to SUBTRACT 2 from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d < -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8d+2<5d-7 -8d -8d 2<-3d-7 +7 +7 9<3d /3 /3 3<d

OpenStudy (anonymous):
