Question

What is 3x + 7 > -5

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x > -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Treat the greater than sign like a equal sign, in that what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 7 from both sides:

3x + 7 (-7) > -5 (-7)

3x > - 5 - 7

3x > -12

Next, isolate the variable, x, by dividing 3 from both sides:

(3x)/3 > (-12)/3

x > (-12)/3

x > -4

x > -4 is your answer.
