Question

Solve for inequality 7(x-2)<-5

Answer 1

Hello!

To solve the inequality, you'll need to multiply 7 with x and -2. Once you've done that you'll be one step closer to solving.

7x-14<-5

Next, you'll need to add 14 to -5. Once you have that done, -5 should now be 9.

7x<9

Now you need to divide both sides by 7. Once you've done that you'll have an inequality of...

x< 9/7

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

$7(x-2)\ \textless \ -5\\ 7x-14\ \textless \ -5\\ 7x\ \textless \ 9\\ x\ \textless \ \dfrac{9}{7}$
