3x + 1 < 7...subtract 1 from both sides
3x < 7 - 1
3x < 6 ...divide both sides by 3
x < 6/3
x < 2
there will be an open circle on 2....because the problem has no equal sign...the line will be shaded to the left...because it is less then.
(-2/5)-(-1/8)
Need to make the denominators the same
(-16/40)-(-5/40)
Multiply -2/5 by 8
Multiply -1/8 by 8
-- sign= positive
-16/40+5/40
Answer=-11/40
The first one and the second one are the correct sums
