Answer:
x < 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing this entirely with symbols, we get:
-5(x - 1) > -40
We must solve for x.
Carrying out the multiplication, we get:
-5x + 5 > -40, or
-5x > -45
Dividing both sides by -5 isolates x:
x < 9
Note that when working with an inequality such as this one, dividing both sides by a negative number requires changing the direction of the inequality symbol.
Answer:
Jameel is 13 and Laitfa is 13 x 2 - 10 = 16
16 + 13 = 29
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation has already been given to us, so we just have to solve it.
According to the question,
L + J = 29
L = 2J - 10
L
2J - 10 + J = 29
add 10 both sides
2J + J = 29 + 10 = 39
3J = 39
J = 39/3 = 13
Done!
Hello!
no, that is not the correct way to isolate x. you were somewhat on the right track however.
here's the correct way:
add 7 to both sides to get -3x = -6
then divide both sides by -3 to get x = 2
I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
