Answer:
x>29
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply each term by -1
-x * -1 < -29 * -1
x > 29
Answer:68x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>7.25 = 7 and 25/100 = 7 and 1/4</span>

Answer: x > 2</h3>
Work Shown:
5x - 14x < - 18
-9x < - 18
x > -18/(-9)
x > 2
The inequality sign flips when dividing both sides by a negative number.
Here's another approach you could take.
5x - 14x < - 18
-9x < -18
0 < -18+9x
18 < 9x
9x > 18
x > 18/9
x > 2
It's a slightly longer pathway, but it avoids a sign flip when you divide both sides by the positive number 9.
The sign flip happens two steps earlier when going from 18 < 9x to 9x > 18. In other words, A < B is the same as B > A.
The product would expand to

This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable
.
So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.
In the first case, we require

In the second case, we require

But
must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.
