Question

Solve 5x + 7 > 17. {x | x < 2} {x | x > 2} {x | x < -2} {x | x > -2}

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution set for the provided inequity is {x | x > 2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided inequity.

$5x+7>17$

Subtract both the side by 7.

$5x+7-7>17-7$

$5x>10$

Now divide both the side by 5.

$\frac{5x}{5}>\frac{10}{5}$

$x>2$

Hence, the solution set for the provided inequity is {x | x > 2}.

Answer 2

5x + 7 > 17 can be simplified by subtracting 7 from both sides:

5x > 10                Now solve for x.  Div. both sides by 5.

Then x>2, or {x | x > 2} in set notation.
