OpenStudy (anonymous):

first step, multiply 7 with x-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5x-7x+1 >-9 +3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when u r multiplying with - symbol inside the bracket also should be changed so 5x-7x-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry 5x-7x-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -2x-7>-6 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

send -7 to left side -2x>1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it would me x<-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x<-1 so x<-1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would that be the answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x<-1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaaaaaaaaaay
