Solve the inequality 7x-35<2(x-5)

$\dashrightarrow\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}}$

First, use the distributive property on the right-hand side:-

     7x-35<2x-10

Remember, we need to ensure that variables are on one side of the inequality and numbers are on the other.

Since we have variables on both sides, we need to move all of them to the other side (usually the left-hand side), using the opposite operation.

Therefore

7x-35-2x<-10

Combine like terms:-

5x-35<-10

Now add 35 on both sides:-

5x<-10+35

On simplification,

5x<25

Divide by 5 on both sides:-

x<5

So the values of x less than 5 will satisfy this inequality.

Good luck with your studies.

Answer 2

7x - 35 < 2(x -5)

Use distributive property on the right side:

7x -35 < 2x - 10

Add 35 to both sides:

7x < 2x + 25

Subtract 2x from both sides

5x < 25

Divide both sides by 5

X < 5
