Question

Solve. 7( x+3 ) < 5x + 13

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {x < -4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following inequality:

$7(x + 3) < 5x + 13$

Use Distributive Property:

$7(x + 3) < 5x + 13$

$7x + 21 < 5x + 13$

-Take $5x$ and subtract it from $7x$:

$7x + 21 - 5x < 5x - 5x + 13$

$2x + 21 < 13$

Subtract both sides by $21$:

$2x + 21 - 21 < 13 - 21$

$2x < -8$

Divide both side by $2x$

$\frac{2x}{2} < \frac{-8}{2}$

$\boxed {x < -4}$

Answer 2

The answer to this is x<-4
