Question

Solve and graph the following inequality: 3(7x+17) > -19 + 14x

Answer 1

Answer:

Solving the inequality we get: $\mathbf{x>-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve and graph the inequality $3(7x+17) > -19 + 14x$

Solving:

$3(7x+17) > -19 + 14x$

Step 1: Multiply  3 with terms inside the bracket

$21x+51 > -19 + 14x$

Step 2:Subtracting 51 on both sides

$21x+51-51 > -19 + 14x-51\\21x>14x-70$

Step 3: Subtract 14x on both sides

$21x-14x>+14x-70-14x\\7x>-70$

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7}>\frac{-70}{7}\\x>-10$

Solving the inequality we get: $\mathbf{x>-7}$
