Question

Solve 7x + 2 < 9x - 4

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{x>3}}$

Step By Step Explanation:

Subtract 2 From Both Sides

$\bold{7x+2-2$

Simplify

$\bold{7x$

Subtract 9x From Both Sides

$\bold{7x-9x$

Simplify

$\bold{-2x$

Multiply Both Sides By -1 (Reverse Inequality)

$\bold{\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)>\left(-6\right)\left(-1\right)}$

Simplify

$\bold{2x>6}$

Divide Both Sides By 2

$\bold{\frac{2x}{2}>\frac{6}{2}}$

Simplify

$\bold{x>3}$
