Question

Given: 5 > x + 7.

Choose the solution set.

{x | x R, x > -2}
{x | x R, x < -2}
{x | x R, x > 2}
{x | x R, x < 2}

Answer 1

Isolate x. since your x is already positive (which is what we want), isolate x by subtracting 7 from both sides of your inequality. Pls show your work.

Answer 2

If I take 7 away from both sides I get -2> x

Answer 3

so the 2nd option - is that right?
