Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
utilise the Foil method to expand brackets:
F - mulply the first terms (x and x)
O - multiply the outside terms ( x and -2)
I - multiply the inside terms (5 and x)
L - multiply the last terms (5 and -2)
Then add them as following:
Then combine like terms:
Almost. Where you put -(-5) and then later on you say it’s -5. It’s not. It would be +5 or just 5 because - and - makes a plus :)
Answer:
1. b > -2
2. x <= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
-2(b + 5) < -6
Divide both sides by -2. Remember to change the inequality sign.
b + 5 > 3
Subtract 5 from both sides.
b > -2
Question 2:
-(x - 10) >= 7
Divide both sides by -1. Remember to change the inequality sign.
x - 10 <= -7
Add 10 to both sides.
x <= 3
