Question

Solve the inequality - 9x/11 - 7 < -5.

Answer 1

Answer:

x >  -22/9

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x/11 < 2 (add 7 to both sides)

-9x < 22  (multiply both sides by 11)

x > 22/-9 (Switch the sign because you are dividing by a negative number)

Answer 2

Answer:

x > -22/9

Step-by-step explanation:

- 9x/11 - 7 < -5

Add 7 to both sides.

- 9x/11 - 7 + 7 < -5 + 7

- 9x/11 < 2

Multiply both sides by 11.

-9x/11 × 11  < 2 × 11

-9x < 22

Divide both sides by -9, reverse sign.

-9x/-9 < 22/-9

x > -22/9
