Question

-5x+2<12 please someone help

Answer 1

Answer:

• $\boxed{\sf{x > -2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the term x on one side of the equation.

-5x+2<12

Subtract by 2 from both sides.

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{-5x+2-2 < 12-2}$

Solve.

Subtract the numbers from left to right.

⇒ 12-2=10

⇒ -5x<10

Multiply by -1 from both sides.

⇒ (-5x)(-1)>10(-1)

Solve.

Multiply the numbers from left to right.

-5x*-1=5x

10*-1=-10

→ 5x>-10

Divide by 5 from both sides.

→ 5x/5>-10/5

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

-10/5=-2

$\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{x > -2}}$

• Therefore, the correct answer is x>-2.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Answer 2

Answer:

$x > -2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$-5x+2 < 12$

To find this answer we subtract two on both sides then isolate the variable by dividing 5 on both sides.

$-5x+2 < 12$
$2-2=0$
$12-2=0$
$-5x < 10$
$-5x\div-5=x$
$10\div-5=-2$
$x > -2$

Which means your answer is "x > -2."

Hope this helps.
