Question

Solve the following equation. Leave answer in terms of a mixed number.

7x - 2 < 10

Answer 1

7x-2<10
X has to be a number that subtracted from 2 is less than 10
X=1

Answer 2

It can't be 1 because it has to be a fraction.

Answer 3

well a mixed number anyway lol

Answer 4

7x - 2 < 10 -- add 2 to both sides
7x < 10 + 2
7x < 12
x < 12/7 = 1 5/12

Answer 5

7x-2<10
add 2 to opposite side and then you get 7x<12 then divide seven on both sides getting x<12/7 or 1 and 5/12
