5x – 7(x + 1) > –9 + 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we need to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we first distribute the -7 to the x and 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would give us 5x-7x-7>-9+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u then add 7 to both sides and get 5x-7x>1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine the x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and u get -2x>1 u need to get the x by itself so u divide both sides by -2 and u flip the sign, because u are dividing by a neg number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur final answer is x<-1 ____ 2
