Question

-5(x+7)<10. What does x equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

x > -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use distributive property and you get

-5x - 35 < 10 (+ 35 on each side)

-5x < 45 (divide by - 5)

x > -9 (When you divide by a negative you flip the sign)

X>-9

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-35<10

add 35 on both sides

Divide -5 on both sides and flip the sign since your dividing by a NEGATIVE number

x>-9
