Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
7a + 42 + 8 < -10 + 9a - 64a
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>
- Combine like terms (a): 7a + 42 + 8 < -10 - 55a
- Combine like terms: 7a + 50 < -10 - 55a
- [Addition Property of Equality] Add 55a on both sides: 62a + 50 < -10
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 50 on both sides: 62a < -60
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 62 on both sides: a < -30/31
Here we see any number <em>a</em> less than -30/31 would work as a solution to the inequality.
