X=3 because you subtract the three on both sides to get x alone. So you get: 7x=21 then you divide seven by 21 and get x=3
Assuming we're dealing with
, which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.
We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.
-------------------------------------
Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.
An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5
What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below
- -2x < 10
- 0 < 10+2x ... adding 2x to both sides
- -10 < 2x ... subtracting 10 from both sides; this is one way to see why the sign flip happens
- 2x > -10
- x > -10/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
- x > -5
