A. x > −1

Answer 1

This is basically like solving for x in an equation, except that you have an inequality sign.

Answer 2

1) subtract or add
2) divide or multiply
when you multiply by negative number you must flip the inequality

Answer 3

-2x + 5 < 7

Start off with the constant.

Answer 4

subtratc 5 from both sides:
-2x+5-5<7-5 you get -2x<2 now just divide both sides by -2 and get the answer but you also need to flip the sing to >

Answer 5

So it would be x > -1?
