Question

Solve the inequality 7x - 35 < 2 [x - 5]

Answer 1

x=5

Explanation:

7x-35<2(x-5)

7x-35<2x-10

7x-2x<-10+35

5x<25

x<25/5

x<5

Answer 2

x < 5

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify

7x−35<2x−10

Step 2: Substract 2x from both sides

7x−35−2x<2x−10−2x

5x−35<−10

Step 3: Add 35 to both sides

5x−35+35<−10+35

5x<25

Step 4: Divide by 5

5x/5 × 25/5

x < 5
