Solve. a. x - 7 > 10 b. 3x <_ 21 c. 5a - 2 < 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. x-7 > 10 You need to isolate a. So you add 7 to both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x > 17? and how do you do the others?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. Same way. For b: You need to isolate x again. So since it has 3 times x, you need to do the opposite of multiplication, which would be division. So you divide 3 from both sides.

Is that supposed to be a negative 12? What is the underscore (_) for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is supposed to be the greater than or equal to sign i forgot you can do it on open study

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh okay. So have you figured it out yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
