Question

Solve this inequality.

-3x - 2 > 7

x < 5

-3


x > 5

-3

x < -3
x > -3

Answer 1

solving an inequality means to hav the variable on one side of the inequality and the numbers on the other side. here x is the variable. to get it alone we need to remove all the numbers associated with that. first let us remove the 2 that is being subtracted from x. to do that add 2.
like this
-3x-2+2>7+2
remember when u make alteration to one side of the inequality you need to do the same to the other side.

Answer 2

a \[x \le \frac{ 5 }{ 3 }\]
b \[x\ge \frac{ 5 }{-3}\]
c\[x \le -3\]
d\[x \ge -3\]

Answer 3

-3x-2+2>7+2 will result in
-3x>9
now u need to remove -3 that has been multiplied to x. to do that divide by -3. remember when u divide by a negative number the inequality sign flips.

Answer 4

so i looked at the answers and when simplified i get\[x \le -3\] would that be right?

Answer 5

yup right:)
