Answer:

$\large\boxed{\{x\ |\ x>2\}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x+7>17\qquad\text{subtract 7 from both sides}\\\\5x+7-7>17-7\\\\5x>10\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5x}{5}>\dfrac{10}{5}\\\\x>2$

This question is just like algebra. The gt sign is similar to an equal sign.
You want to isolate the variable (x) on one side.
And the numbers on the other side of the sign.
Then continue with algebra-
Make sure you don’t touch the sign or switch it.
You ONLY switch the sign if your dividing by a negative number.
Hope this helped.

Which expression is equivalent to −1/ 12x−1 /3?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{12} (-x-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

the expression we have is:

$-\frac{1}{12} x-\frac{1}{3}$

To find an equivalent expression, it would be helpful to express 1/3 so that it has a 12 in the denominator:

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{12}$

so we substitute this:

$-\frac{1}{12} x-\frac{4}{12}$

and now we have 1/12 in both terms :

$-\frac{1}{12}x-\frac{1*4}{12}$

so we can factor it (we take it out of each term: in the first we are left with -x and in the second with -4):

$\frac{1}{12} (-x-4)$

the equivalent expression is: $\frac{1}{12} (-x-4)$
