Question

Find the solution set to the inequality: 2x+5>-7.Express the solution set in set notation and graphically on a number line.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to get the "X" by itself.  To do that:

First subtract five:  2x+5-5>-7  

+5 and -5 cross each other out

2x>-7

/Now, since x is being multiplied by 2, you divide by 2 to cross out 2:  2x/2>-7/2

x>-7/2

x>-3.5
