Answer:
A. -61/9
Step-by-step explanation:
(7x + 28) + (7x +28) = 5x - 5 . . . . . . . given equation
14x +56 = 5x -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
9x = -61 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5x+56
x = -61/9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Answer:
x>-2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-4x<5x+16
Subtract 5x from both sides:
x-4x-5x<16
Combine like terms:
-8x<16
Divide both sides by 8:
-x<2
Divide both sides by -1:
x>-2
Hope this helps!
