Question

How do you solve 5x+17>5(2x+1) algebraically?

Answer 1

Answer:

x < 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 5 among everything inside the parenthesis to get 5x + 17 > 10x + 5.

Next, subtract 5 on both sides to get

5x + 12 > 10x.

Afterwards, subtract the 5x on both sides to get 12 > 5x.

Finally, divide 5 on both sides to get 12/5 > x (You can always flip it around so that the x is on the other side btw.) Answer is written above⤴⤴⤴.

Hope this helps you :)
